Subject: USB drives not recognized after reboot
Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2006 22:04:00 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1161813840.28019.16.camel@localhost> (raw)

I am running Fedora Core 6 with the vendor kernel which is 2.6.18.

I have 2 250GB LaCie USB 2.0 drives.

These drives work fine if I power them down and then backup up after the
server is rebooted.

However, if I reboot the server, without powering down the drives, the
server does not see them.

Actually, lsusb does show them as:

Bus 005 Device 005: ID 059f:0651 LaCie, Ltd
Bus 005 Device 004: ID 059f:0651 LaCie, Ltd

However, udev does not notice them and no device files are created.

These are not partitioned, so the correct device file would be /dev/sda
with a major of 8 and and minors of 0 and 16.

If I create the device files manually, 'mount' doesn't see them as  usb
devices.  I believe it says it is not a valid block device, but I'm not
certain of that and cannot test it right now as the server is currently
live.

I need a way to force these drives to be detected at boot up even if I
have to manually force it some way in rc.local.

I'm not certain that this is the proper list for this problem, but udev
seems a reasonable place to start.

Thank you for any assistance.

-Steve
