Re: External USB and Linux
file when you plug in the disk?
Most likely, the partitions show up as
/dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, then you can
try to mount them.

Re: External USB and Linux
The messages in /var/log/messages are
kernel:hub.c:USB new device connect on bus 1/2, assigned device number 3
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent:Setup usb-storage for USB product 4ce/2/260
I'm not able to mount the drivers you suggested.

Re: External USB and Linux
I found this in the kernel documentation:
===================================================
THE /proc/bus/usb/devices FILE:
-------------------------------
In /proc/bus/usb/devices, each device's output has multiple
lines of ASCII output.
I made it ASCII instead of binary on purpose, so that someone
can obtain some useful data from it without the use of an
auxiliary program. However, with an auxiliary program, the numbers
in the first 4 columns of each "T:" line (topology info:
Lev, Prnt, Port, Cnt) can be used to build a USB topology diagram.
Each line is tagged with a one-character ID for that line:
T = Topology (etc.)
B = Bandwidth (applies only to USB host controllers, which are
virtualized as root hubs)
D = Device descriptor info.
P = Product ID info. (from Device descriptor, but they won't fit
together on one line)
S = String descriptors.
C = Configuration descriptor info. (* = active configuration)
I = Interface descriptor info.
E = Endpoint descriptor info.
=======================================================================
give a look at the /proc/bus/usb/devices file.
Maybe (!) there is something that could help you to find what's wrong, for example the right device to mount (if /dev/sd* was wrong).

Re: External USB and Linux
however, reading your attached file and the lines of your /var/log/messages,
seems that the driver is working and the usb HDD is recognized.
what is exactly the mount command you run? what error do you get?
Ciao

Thanks again! Ciao

Re: External USB and Linux
If I try to mount /dev/sda1, I get the same error; and i haven't any scsi disk. So /dev/sda1 isn't the right device.
Try looking in this file:
/proc/scsi/scsi
this should show the attached scsi devices of your system.
I'm trying everything comes in my mind :-)

Re: External USB and Linux
this in the log?
It will use SCSI emulation on this drive,
that's why it has to be mounted as a SCSI
drive.

Re: External USB and Linux
Attached devices: none
Let's try to provoke this forum: for such things, Windows is better than Linux :-)
