[expert] Sony Micro Vault 128 - drakupdate_fsta loooooooop

2003-01-15 Thread oscar 
Hi all,
I wrote to the list about sony micro vault 128 usb storage. Now I have it 
working in my LM 8.2 thanks to Todd with modprobe sd_mod.
Now I have tested it in my LM 9.0 computer and I presume that we have a little 
problem with drakupdate_fsta.
I wrote in /etc/modules.conf this line:
alias /dev/sda sd_mod
This is working ok in LM 8.2.
But when I plugged the Sony Micro Vault to the usb port, and when I did "ls 
/dev/sda" I observed something like this in my /var/log/messages:

and so on...
My computer was in a loop, and when I ran "top", I discovered a program which 
was running over an over again eating 50% of cpu time: drakupdate_fsta.
How I stoped the loop? I should rename /usr/sbin/drakupdate_fsta to 
drakupdate_fsta.deactivated. The loop finished inmediatly.
And now this is the problem: If I want to use my sony mv128, I can't have a 
functional drakupdate_fsta.
My questions:
1. How can I avoid the loop with drakupdate_fsta when I plug in the sony mv 
128?
2. Is drakupdate_fsta a critical component of LM 9.0? Can my computer with LM 
9.0 live without it?
Thank you,

Well that just shows how much the kernel changed inbetween 8.2 and 9.0.
Remove that line from /etc/modules.conf and that will get rid of the
loop.  As for how to make it automatic, look in /etc/hotplug/usb
directory.  You'll have to put a script there that will modprobe that
module in.

I already tried it. The result is the same. When I plug the micro vault, the 
loop start. I can use the micro vault only if I rename drakupdate_fsta. Then, 
will I have any problem if I rename drakupdate_fsta?
Now, this is my solution:

/etc/hotplug/usb.usermap:
sony_microvault   0x0003  0x054c   0x01050x   0x  0x00 
0x000x000x000x00 0x00   
0x

/etc/hotplug/usb/sony_microvault:
#! /bin/sh
if [ -t -o ! -x /usr/bin/logger ]; then
mesg () {
echo "$@"
}
else
mesg () {
/usr/bin/logger -t $0 "$@"
}
fi
mv /usr/sbin/drakupdate_fsta /usr/sbin/drakupdate_fsta.off
modprobe sd_mod
mesg Module sd_mod running. Now /dev/sda is here.
echo "#!/bin/bash" > $REMOVER
echo "if [ -t -o ! -x /usr/bin/logger ]; then" >> $REMOVER
echo "mesg () {" >> $REMOVER
echo "echo \"\$@\"" >> $REMOVER
echo "}" >> $REMOVER
echo "else" >> $REMOVER
echo "mesg () {" >> $REMOVER
echo "/usr/bin/logger \"\$@\"" >> $REMOVER
echo "}" >> $REMOVER
echo "fi" >> $REMOVER
echo "modprobe -r sd_mod" >> $REMOVER
echo "mesg Module sd_mod removed." >> $REMOVER
echo "mv /usr/sbin/drakupdate_fsta.off /usr/sbin/drakupdate_fsta" >> $REMOVER
chmod a+x $REMOVER 

Thank you
