From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: John DeDourek Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 00:49:07 +0000 Subject: Internal ZIP drive and udev device nodes Message-Id: <43FD0683.7050604@unb.ca> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org I am running Fedora Core 4, kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 udev-071-0.FC4.2 hal-0.5.2-2.fc4.1 on an IBM ThinkCentre 8143-4JU Pentium 4 550 with HT 3400MHz Intel 915G chipset Iomega ZIP 100 ATAPI drive (as slave on second chain; master on that chain is a DVD-ROM/CD-RW) On a boot, /dev/hdd is created, but the required /dev/hdd4 is not. On insertion of media, /dev/hdd4 is not created. On attempted mount of /dev/hdd with media in drive (mount -t vfat /dev/hdd /media/zip) mount fails (as expected, "wrong fstype ...", because media has a partition table) but /dev/hdd4 is created Subsequently, mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4 /media/zip works correctly An entry /dev/hdd4 /media/zip auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 exists in /etc/fstab. However, neither mount /media/zip nor mount /dev/hdd4 work, either before or after the /dev/hdd4 device node is created. Looking for pointers to documentation that describes how removable media with partition tables are supposed to work and/or advice on correcting this problem. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
