Re: HP USB Mass Storage device issue



Ok,

I restarted my machine and I have the sd file now.  Specifically:
act:/home/atippett# cat /sys/bus/scsi/drivers/sd/2\:0\:0\:0/vendor
 HP

I assume there's no need to try to rmmod sd_mod


I don't think the sd_mod should affect my digital camera as the sd_mod deals with scsi stuff (assumption).

Still no dectection of the usb flash drive size in the syslog with the sd_mod

No sd driver listed there? Strange... are there any subdirectories
under scsi/drivers at all? If no sd, then at least the SATA
driver for your harddisk should be there (don't recall its
name from your lsmod output... something like sata_sil?).


Here's a tail of my syslog as the device is inserted. To answer your question, I don't see SCSI listing out the hdwr sectors or device information:

Hmm, and I suppose that's exactly what the sd driver is supposed
to tell... that would also explain why your digital camera isn't
working (uses the sd driver, too), while your mouse and hub are
fine.

Funny that although the sd driver apparently isn't used by anything
(no output to syslog; device not visible, let alone mountable), its
module-"Used By"-refcount still is 2... if your current kernel
supports module unloading, you could try

- detach stick
- "rmmod sd_mod"
- attack stick, check if the module is loaded automatically
- if not, detach, insmod manually, attach
- check for differences in syslog and system behaviour

Hmm, wildly stabbing in the dark... ;)
