Help
I have an external hdd hotswap box with removable trays connected via a USB cable.
It works/ed with SuSE 9.x auto mounting on /media/usb-storage-some_very_long_name_with_silly_characters. I actually saved most of my local filesystems onto a removable HDD using cp -a dir1, dir2, ...
It works with SUSE 10.0 auto mounting on /media/usbdis_1 (or 2,3, ..).
But, on opensuse 10.2, the device does not even seem to be noticed by the system (does not register with lsusb or dmesg).
John, you might try the new kernel that was posted about within the last three days, where usbfs is re-enabled.
I think that 10.2 sort of leaves mounting up to the desktop software (kde) or something, because if I plug in a usb drive at runlevel 3 I get results similar to yours.
Have you tried cat /proc/mounts to see if the device mounts? I have found that my external USB drives now mount as /media/disk as oppose with the strange long names. -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
