From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Bill Gradwohl Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2005 16:17:22 +0000 Subject: USB fixed disk Message-Id: <42137212.8080301@ycc.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org On an FC3 system, a USB fixed disk was being recognized and set up to mount at /media/usbdisk I manually commented out the line in /etc/fstab for that device that fstab-sync had created so I could control mounting and dismounting myself. However, the /dev entry it used, namely sdd1 isn't created any longer after I bounced the machine.. I tried to find a mechanism that would tell udev not to create the entry, but came up empty. Why isn't udev creating the /dev/ssd1 entry, or am I completely misunderstanding this? Anyone know how to get the original functionality back, as at this point I've got no access at all. When I uncommented the line in fstab and bounced the box, the line disappeared. Here's the section of /var/log/messages: Feb 15 17:00:16 s2 kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 Feb 15 17:00:16 s2 kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
