[gentoo-user] USB issue

[gentoo-user] USB issue

[Franta]

Hi,

that's me onesmore.

Again the things changed were some emerge -u world.

There are no USB disks coming up anymore. Dunno when this issue came up.

I have a digital camera which I connected to my PC. It came up
as /dev/sdaX and due to my USB settings as /dev/psmart.

I have an USB key, which came up as /dev/sdaX and due to my USB settings
as /dev/cruiser.

I did'nt use any of them for half a year or so. Last week I tried to
save some photos to th PC.

There are the messages about connecting the USB device
in /var/log/messages but no device is coming up.

I've tried the same with the USB stick - the same story.

Has something changed with coldplug/hotplug?

Well, I could save the pictures from the camera or exchange data from
the USB stick using Windows. Half a year ago this was possible with
Gentoo too. I'd prefer this possibility ;)

The only thing I've changed was some update world.

THanks for any help
Frank

Well some details. Here's the syslog for connecting the USB stick:

Seems the hardware is OK.

There have been a _lot_ of changes in udev, and most likely your
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules needs some work.  The most
significant is that for vendor/product/etc matches, you now need "=="
instead of just "=".  Also, all rules are matched, unless you use the
last_rule option, although you can use the ":=" syntax for some things
to prevent later rules from overriding your settings.

Here are my key rules:

# usb disk keys
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", SYSFS{product}=="Flash Disk",
NAME="%k", SYMLINK="usbkey%n"
BUS=="usb", SUBSYSTEM=="block", SYSFS{product}=="Flash Disk",
KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="usbkey"

Hmmm ... ``man'' thet's what? Can you explain it a bit? ;)

I've tried some help pages to get my custom settings working. Well,
upgrade means your customizings go to hell. We're o Linux or on
Windows?????

Well, we're on Linux. Windows don't know customizings at all. ;) Maybe
I'll start over from scratch over weekend. ... but it's annoying.

Best Gentoo rule: NEVER DO ``EMERGE -U WORLD!!!!!!'' ?

Don't get me wrong but it's a thing happening VERY often. The last
upgrade cut me off from the net. I had to ``ifconfig'' ``route''
manually. Thanks god, that the upgrade the day after fixed this.

This way we'll never become an accepted (and supported) distro.

Just an IMHO

Your are on Linux, which means you have more control but have to take
responsibility for your own actions. Custom udev rules should go
in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules, like in says in the guide.
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules is for system rules and may be
updated along with the software.

Hmmm, I'll try to remove my custom settings. But just now, at least
the /dev/sd[a-z][0-9] should come up, shouldn't it?

So O.K.

I'll probably have to do this from scratch.

Well, "hotplug" as we knew it no longer exists really.  Now the kernel
sends hotplug events using either udevsend or (for 2.6.15 onwards)
netlink.

Try "cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug".  In your case, it should say
"/sbin/udevsend".

However, we are _assuming_ that the system is starting udev.  You
should check the first few lines of the system boot to make sure.  You
should see messages like:

Mounting /dev for udev ...
...
  Setting /sbin/udevsend as hotplug agent ...

Also check what you told the init script to use for /dev management.
# grep RC_DEVICES /etc/conf.d/rc

The default value is "auto" but perhaps you've changed this and forgot to 
update it when switching to udev. For your system it should be set to "auto" 
or "udev".

I'm still on the last 2.6.14 kernel and would like to know any tricks I
need to put in place before I run into a USB problem . . . I have
hotplug in my rc-update default and coldplug in my rc-update boot.  Do I
need to change these manually, or will a 2.6.15 kernel and update world
sort it out for me?

It 'just worked' for me, but I do run ~x86.  The big difference
between 2.6.14 and later kernels is that later kernels use netlink for
hotplug events instead of udevsend.  You can see this towards the
bottom of /lib/rcscripts/addons/udev-start.sh.  There is not anything
special that you need to do to prepare for this, other than
etc-update.

Thanks, let's hope that'll be the case with my stable system, too.  I
was just asking to know if I will need to remove hotplug from the rc
levels and then unmerge it manually, or whether such things will be
taken care of by the update process.

[gentoo-user] USB issue

[Ian]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 470 bytes --]

Hi there,
Im using 2.6.15-gentoo-r5 and am having issues copying files to my iPod and
my other USB devices.
Whether in gtkPod or using the cp command, I get problems.

Ive mounted everything alright as its worked before and I haven't changed
anything.
Basically I just use the cp command and:

 cp: writing '/mnt/ipod/file': Input/Output error

cp: cannot create regular file '/mnt/ipod/file2': Input/Output error

Any ideas?
Thanks!!

What do you have in /etc/fstab for this?
What is the output from "ls -ld /mnt/ipod" before and after mounting?
Does cp work as root?

Basically the standard.
/dev/sda2  [tab] /mnt/ipod  [tab]  auto   [tab]  noauto,users,rw  [tab] 0 0
That line is from memory, although it did previously work perfectly.


What is the output from "ls -ld /mnt/ipod" before and after mounting?


Im at work right now, Ill reply very soon with this output.

Does cp work as root?


Flawlessly.

One other thing, I did upgrade kernels, however I used make oldconfig with
the older
config file in the kernel directory. I rechecked the menuconfig and found
that everything
I think should be enabled, was. I can post my config file on my server and
link you guys
when I get home.

HTH,
Ian

Try 
/dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod auto noauto,users,umask=000 0 0

The umask option on FAT filesystems gives makes all files world writeable.
