[expert] Sony Micro Vault 128 - drakupdate_fsta loooooooop
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: - Jan 16 00:01:38 localhost kernel: SCSI device sda: 256000 512-byte hdwr sectors (131 MB) Jan 16 00:01:38 localhost kernel: sda: Write Protect is off Jan 16 00:01:38 localhost kernel: /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p3 p4 Jan 16 00:01:38 localhost kernel: USB Mass Storage support registered.

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?

I should rename /usr/sbin/drakupdate_fsta to 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. Blue skies...

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 -- Óscar Santacreu Usuario de Linux Registrado #227443 http://counter.li.org/ Windows Free Environment Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
