1 I am having trouble with my external USB disk.
2 I have the following entry in fstab:
3 /dev/usbhd1 /mnt/b ext3 defaults 0 0
4 I have written /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
5 DRIVERS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="335144304641374D", ATTRS{product}=="ST94811U2-RK", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Seagate", SYMLINK+="usbhd%n"
6
7 When I boot into single user mode I see the following near the end of
8 the messages
9
10 Mounting local filesystems ...
11 /dev/bus/usb/001/002 is not a block device
12 Some local filesystem failed to mount.
13 Mounting USB filesystem (usbfs)
14
15 At this point ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/002 yields
16 crw-rw-r--
17 ls /mnt/b shows that the mount did not occur.
18 But if I now manually type umount -a
19 all is well (/mnt/b has the expected files)
20
21 As a work-around I added mount -a to local.start.
22 I am a beginner with udev, but it looks like usbfs
23 is being mounted too late.
24
25 thanks for any help.
