Greetings,
With a lot of help from you folks, I got USB working by creating
/dev/sda1 using mknod:
mknod /dev/sda1 b 10 1
Worked like a charm.
However, from time to time /dev/sda1 disappears without my
deleting it. It seems to be random; I can't figure out a cause.
It has happened three times that I remember, most recently tonight.
Up till tonight, I could always su root and re-create it using
mknod as above. However, tonight when I got the response
"/dev/sda1 does not exist," after I re-created it using mknod I
then got the error message "mount: /dev/sda1: unknown device."
/dev/sda1 is still in /etc/fstab, and the mount point /mnt/usb
still exists. /etc/fstab has not changed at all since the last
time I successfully used USB.
Does anybody know what's going on? I really need to be able to use
USB. Having occasionally to re-create /dev/sda1 is a pain, but
something I can live with as long as the result is accessible.
Thanks.
