Subject: [gentoo-user] Mounting USB Storage Devices
Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2005 23:56:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050712235605.1096d926.matthias.schweinoch@gmx.de> (raw)

Hi all,

I'm running Gentoo 2005.0 with an up-to-date portage tree, and I'm
having some trouble getting an external USB harddisk running. My kernel
is a 2.6.11-gentoo-r9. I have compiled USB support and SCSI
support into the kernel.

When I attach the harddisk via USB, the following output is produced in
/var/log/messages:

Jul 12 23:47:25 genbox usb 1-1.1: new full speed USB device using
ohci_hcd and address 6  
Jul 12 23:47:25 genbox scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage
devices  
Jul 12 23:47:25 genbox usb-storage: device found at 6 
Jul 12 23:47:25 genbox usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before
scanning

Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox Type:   Direct-Access  ANSI SCSI revision: 00 

Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox Attached scsi generic sg0
at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0,  type 0  
Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox usb-storage: device scan complete 
Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox scsi.agent[8603]: disk at
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.1/1-1.1:1.0/host2/target2
:0:0/2:0:0:0 

Running 'lsusb' gives me the following for device 6:

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 2735:1005

'sg_scan' produces the following ouput:

/dev/sg0: scsi2 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em]

I would think this all looks pretty good, i.e. I would expect to be able
to mount the drive by doing something like:

mount /dev/sg0 /mnt/usbstorage

However, if I try this, mount produces an output saying that the device
is not a block device. 

I'm pretty much out out ideas, and I'd welcome any suggestions.

Sincerely,

  Matthias
