[gentoo-user] USB Mass Storage Device
Hi all, I bought an USB MemoryBird from Fujitsu Siemens. Is that supported under Gentoo Linux? I've never heard anything about these devices. Any references or experiences? Best regards, Paulo J Matos -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Then, add a line to your fstab to mount it (vfat filesystem). My digital camera with memory stick works this way. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You must turn on in kernel configuration 'USB mass storage support' (and eventually USB suppport if you haven't already done that). You could also turn on 'Preliminary USB device support' so that you can see if your device is recognized (look in /proc/usb or use the 'usbview' app). Then you have to mount the partition on your USB device with something like /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0 in /etc/fstab (the USB partition is seen as a SCSI disk partition). -- Arturo di Gioia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

IIRC, you'll also need scsi and scsi disk support in the kernel -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

> memory stick works this way. As does my Archos MP3 recorder (through various USB-SCSI shenanigans). Though I do get the occasional lockup, and USB2 transfer sometimes slows to a crawl. Can anyone shed any light on this? I do have the ISD-200 driver compiled into my kernel. There are no suspicious log messages before lockups, annoyingly...
