Re: [Freevo-users] Re: usb mass storage help please [attn Dischi] FIXED !!!
Hi,
Duh, a search through /proc/bus/usb/devices revealed the culprit.
Found the problem in misc.py line 300
if line.lower().find('mass storage') != -1:
should be
if line.lower().find('storage') != -1:
Probably kernel 2.4 and 2.6 usb/mass storage module naming is
different. A find for 'storage' is enough to get it going for both
modules
my cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=ff Prot=01 Driver=usb-storage
Or changing back to usb_id as an identifier is maybe a better solution
if one has multiple usb-storage devices.

Mick,
Sorry no i didn't wrote this stuff but last week i did give it another
try, but as i replied earlier i couldn't make it work also. What i
recall it did work somewhere last august, september. Early this year
camera.py changed into usbstorage.py but from what i can see in CVS
nothing changed substantially when doing a diff. The mounting and
making the mounted dir visible is indeed hacked away somewhere in the
process..
So imo there are two options:
- Find a freevo tarball from august, september last year and debug it
with this code. Problem is i can't find any freevo tarball 1.4 . If
someone can point me to it ? (complete tarball is bit easier then
browsing cvs, i think)
- as dischi stated earlier this week devel is a bit slow now and if
you doesn't want it to be buried in this list file it as a bug report.
Haven't got the time to this myself right know because i have to leave i
a few secs.

Hi Robert.

Did you write the plugin? I think wether or not the directory is
mounting is relavtily easy to fix, the problem is making the directoy
visible in freevo only when the device is available.. This part of the
code I simply connot reverse engineer. To be honest, it looks like this
part of the code does not exist.. It seems so simple i'm a little bit
peaved I can't work out whats going on..
Maybe it is something inferred by something else.. Like the Dir item..
In any case i can only appoligise for being stupid.. But can someone
help me with this?

Dischi,
Can you please explain to me how usbtorage.py is meant to funtion with

No, I didn't wrote usbtorage.py. I can only say that usb.py will force
a menu rebuild when you add/remove usb devices.
I can't see any refference to calling mount or umount.. I'm happy to
make this my first contribution, but need your advice as to how its
meant to work..
It should mount. If it doesn't, it's a bug. Maybe the guy who wrote it
used an automounter.
It doesn't.. so it's a bug then. Strange thing is i got it working with
camera.py a while ago without using automount. And usbstorage.py is
basicly the same code as camera.py was. Not sure where it goes wrong
but i look into it and i'll try to find out what the diff is. Probably
tomorrow.
Its such a simple process that I don't see the need to patch a
kernel or install another dependancy to get it going..
It should work using mount and umount.
What i meant was that for usb storage devices some kernelside options
are needed. In other words make sure if USB mounting works outside
freevo. :-) But we probably passed that stage.

Hi,

automaticly. Gonna look a bit further into it.
