Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm running Gentoo 2005.0 with an up-to-date portage tree, and I'm |
| 4 |
having some trouble getting an external USB harddisk running. My kernel |
| 5 |
is a 2.6.11-gentoo-r9. I have compiled USB support and SCSI |
| 6 |
support into the kernel. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
When I attach the harddisk via USB, the following output is produced in |
| 9 |
/var/log/messages: |

Running 'lsusb' gives me the following for device 6: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 2735:1005 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
'sg_scan' produces the following ouput: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
/dev/sg0: scsi2 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em] |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I would think this all looks pretty good, i.e. I would expect to be able |
| 37 |
to mount the drive by doing something like: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
mount /dev/sg0 /mnt/usbstorage |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
However, if I try this, mount produces an output saying that the device |
| 42 |
is not a block device. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I'm pretty much out out ideas, and I'd welcome any suggestions. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Sincerely, |
| 47 |
