Re: Re: HP USB Mass Storage device issue
Brady,
When running cfdisk -z I get the following error:
FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive
Press any key to exit cfdisk
The only scsi device that hotplug created was /dev/sda (no other sd?)
version of linux: Linux act 2.6.7-1-k7
I think that the /dev/sda is being created incorrectly but i'm not
sure. Unfortunately, I have been unable to install udev because all the
kernel's above 2.6.7 give me an error when I try to run them and udev
requires 2.6.8+
Perhaps I should be working on this problem before I start into this one.
btw, here's a listing of my mount, does it look incorrect to anyone?
/dev/hde2 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /media/hda1 type xfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev on /.dev type unknown (rw,bind)
none on /dev type tmpfs (rw,size=5M,mode=0755)
nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw)

I'm having issues trying to partition/mount an usb device. The device
is a HP usb digital drive (looks like a small memstick). If anyone
can help or has suggestions please let me know.
When I insert the device into the usb it is registered with hotplug:
Feb 26 19:15:30 act kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi8,
channel 0 , id 0, lun 0
However, when I try to partition the disk it says "No medium found".
Here's my information from /proc
Try 'cfdisk -z' on it and see what you get.
Barring that, take a look at other drives. Mine have been known to show
up as one thing in the logs and end up somewhere else. They've also been
known to skip devices, so I have sda, sdb, sde, sdf and so forth instead
of having them in order. This varies, so they might end up in order and
they might not.
Try 'fdisk -l /dev/sd?' changing '?' to a letter to designate the
device.
