It looks like your device is getting detected as both a direct access disk and an enclosure device.
Indeed, several FireWire disks with a button (used as backup program launcher on other OSs) do represent themselves as two logical units, one of type Disk or RBC Disk, the other of type Enclosure Services. In this particular case, ieee1394 should add the following devices (e.g. to be found symlinked into /sys/bus/ieee1394/devices/) when the disk is plugged in: 0090a976213be423 for the node 0090a976213be423-0 for the disk (or the button) 0090a976213be423-1 for the button (or the disk) There is also a different internal organization of the node possible so that both SCSI logical units are represented by the IEEE 1394 unit 0090a976213be423-0, but this does not seem to be the case with this WD disk. I don't have a WD drive myself to reproduce the issue. The dual-unit devices which I have do not trigger this problem. Therefore and because the bug does apparently not prevent you from accessing the disk and because the ieee1394 kernel driver stack is in the process of being replaced by the alternative firewire kernel driver stack, it is not very likely that somebody is going to fix this. Does the SuSE kernel package already provide the new firewire drivers in parallel with the old ieee1394 drivers? If yes, you can try the new drivers by "modprobe -r ohci1394 && modprobe firewire-ohci && modprobe firewire-sbp2", then plug the disk in. The new drivers aren't actually that new anymore; they have been stable for FireWire storage devices for quite some time now. https://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
