This time it worked: umass0 at uhub5 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "Linux 2.6.24.2-Boeye with s3c-udc File-backed Storage Gadget" rev 2.00/3.22 addr 3 umass0: using SCSI over Bulk-Only scsibus2 at umass0: 2 targets, initiator 0 sd1 at scsibus2 targ 1 lun 0: <Linux, File-Stor Gadget, 0322> SCSI2 0/direct removable serial.00850600372041756775 sd1: 1885MB, 512 bytes/sector, 3862393 sectors Controller /dev/usb0: addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x8086), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 powered port 3 powered port 4 powered port 5 powered port 6 addr 2: high speed, self powered, config 1, product 0x4485(0x4485), IBM(0x04b3), rev 0.01 port 1 addr 3: high speed, power 2 mA, config 1, File-backed Storage Gadget(0x0600), Linux 2.6.24.2-Boeye with s3c-udc(0x0085), rev 3.22, iSerialNumber 372041756775 port 2 powered port 3 powered port 4 powered port 7 powered port 8 powered Controller /dev/usb1: addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x8086), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 powered Controller /dev/usb2: addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x8086), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 powered Controller /dev/usb3: addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x8086), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 powered Controller /dev/usb4: addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x8086), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 addr 2: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, Biometric Coprocessor(0x2016), STMicroelectronics(0x0483), rev 0.01 -- Alexander Polakov | plhk.ru
