two problems: usb-devel mailing list trouble, and automounting a usb

[Brian T. Brunner]

Hello Greg!  I've subscribed to the usb developers list, but all mail I 
send to it gets bounced by the mailman as having been sent to the 
list-request address.  Mail to me from the list appears as if it were
 private (two party) mail for which I was on a bcc list.  Only you & 
Surekha are in the to & from fields.  If you have a clue or pointer,
please toss it my way.

More pressing problem: I run shrike (RH9, linux kernel 2.4.20-8), 
and attempt to automount a thumb drive (Kanguru Microdrive 128MB) 
that lsusb says is 0d7d/0120 Apacer. Currently I poll using 
system("grep -q usb-storage /proc/bus/usb/devices)".  
This works as expected the first time. I then mount() and 
system("cat bigfile | bzip2 > /mnt/thumbdrive/smallfile") to compress 
bigfile onto the thumbdrive. Then I umount().  This all works fine the 
first time, sometimes second. By time the 5th attempt is made, 
/var/log/messages begins to get "kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout"
messages, and "time lsusb" takes 15 seconds to run.

The file copy take proportionately longer, but completes.

What part of 'TFM' should I 'R'?

[Brian T. Brunner]

Apologies for the confusion in addressing this (previous) post.  Mailtool configuration was the cause.
It won't be the last embarrassment.  
I use Novel GroupWise5.5 for a mail tool (company mandate) and it is severely brain-damaged IMHO.
I now have the mailing list address correctly recorded.  Problem 1 is cured.

Problem 2 remains.

You were using html, which is not allowed on the list.  Please try it
again.
