Hi,

 

The module used for my purpose is sbp2

 

cat /proc/sbp2/1 gives "driver does not support proc_fs"

 

/var/log/messages do give this information... but parsing that in my C code is hell of a job.. sure there must be a better way.

Hi,

 

look at the boot Log-File or the /proc Filesystem.

Hi all,

 

I use external FW hdd in my program. When I plug it into the system, it is auto detected and appears as a scsi disk. So far good. Now the problem is the mapped scsi depends on the already present scsi disks on the system and could be sda sdb sdc etc. How can I find out from my program wheather any firewire HDDs are connected and whatz their number (sd?).
