I'm having trouble detecting the hotplugging of usb disks. Some machines work fine (an older slackware machine), some detect a usb zip disk, but not a regular (120G) usb disk (a RedHat laptop), while another near identical Slackware machine (same drivers, kernel, usb card) doesn't detect either. The machine that doesn't detect anything has an /etc/hotplug/ directory, but the machine that detects everything just fine, doesn't have an /etc/hotplug directory. All driver modules are loaded.
On successfull hotplugging, an entry like /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0 appears/disappears and I can use the disk (as /dev/sdx). When the hotplugging doesn't work, I don't get the usb-storage-0 entry in /proc, but the logs look the same (entries from usb.c about detection of the external disk). Does anyone know what happens on plugging a usb disk so I can debug what's going on? (I've read as much as I can find on the Linux USB website) Thanks Joe -- Joseph Mack NA3T EME(B,D), FM05lw North Carolina jmack (at) wm7d (dot) net - azimuthal equidistant map generator at http://www.wm7d.net/azproj.shtml Homepage http://www.austintek.com/ It's GNU/Linux! -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
