I can dig that out if it's what you might need. Todd At this point anything would help I want to get this worked out before I buy a bigger flashdrive for my MiniITX project(Hellachus music player) Thought I had something I was supposed to answer . . . I'm quoting this from Guy Rouillier's post of June 3 2003. It helped me set up my SanDisk CF+SM reader. It may help if you have two devices on the same USB line. He wrote: Sorry for the delayed response. I don't have time to write a complete howto. However, the site I mentioned has the following QA: === Q: Why do I only see one device from my multipurpose storage device? A:Some distributions (notably Red Hat) turn off the kernel option CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN. This prevents usb-storage from automatically detecting all the devices in your removable storage device. You can either recompile your kernel with this option enabled or try; echo /proc/scsi/scsi scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 1 Where IIRC, the first zero is the host (so it is zero if this is your first SCSI adapter), the second the channel (which for usb-storage should always be zero I believe), the third is the target (which again is always 0 for usb-storage) and the last is the LUN. LUN 0 is the only one probed if this kernel option is off, so you'd need to repeat this command as root for every media type your device accepts. Following this advice, for my CF/SM reader I added the following two lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: echo /proc/scsi/scsi scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 1 echo /proc/scsi/scsi scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 2 I believe that you adjust the number of lines based on the number of formats/slots your reader has. The 6-in-1 devices probably need 6 lines; if your device only supports a single card type, you probably only need one line. Somewhere else in either the User Guide of FAQs on the Linux-USB site discussed changing the SCSI max luns in modules.conf. I can't find the reference at the moment, but I haven't needed to do that for Mandrake 9.1. Note that to try this out, you don't need to update rc.local and reboot. You can just type the command at a terminal prompt and see what happens. You might have to look in /var/log/messages to see the messages. Here is what I see in that file. When the system first boots up (before running rc.local) I see this: scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: SanDisk Model: ImageMate CF-SM Rev: 0100 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI r Attached scsi removable disk sdd at scsi1, channel 0, id sdd : READ CAPACITY failed. sdd : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08 Current sd00:00: sense key Not Ready Additional sense indicates Medium not present sdd : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB. Then when the above statements in rc.local ran, I see this: kernel: scsi singledevice 1 0 0 1 kernel: Vendor: SanDisk Model: ImageMate CF-SM Rev: 0 kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI S kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sde at scsi1, channel /etc/hotplug/scsi.agent: sd_mod allready loaded kernel: SCSI device sde: 16000 512-byte hdwr sectors (8 MB) (Sorry, some got cut off, can't find a decent editor that can do column blocks AND copy to the clipboard) Anyway, this is right because I have an 8 MB SmartMedia card in the reader.

Re: [newbie] USB Flashdrive
Hello, Try...I can't seem to find it in the archives, but it may be that you need to add multi-lun capability. enter: echo scsi add-single-device R C T L/proc/scsi/scsi where: R=scsi control number (see /proc/scsi/scsi) C=channel number (always 0) T=target number (always 0) L=lun number (starting from zero, this means you want number 1 to be added) check /proc/scsi/scsi I hope this helps. -Jim On Monday 16 June 2003 09:40 pm, Aron Smith wrote: On Mon, 2003-06-16 at 05:09, Todd Slater wrote: On Mon, Jun 16, 2003 at 02:08:59AM -0700, Aron Smith wrote: I Finaly got the USB Flashdrive working in a R/W mode but where my WinDoze box sees it as 2 32mb drives my Linbox only sees it as one of the drives any Ideas on how to reformatt the drive as one drive?
