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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
