I have connected a Bytecc 3.5 HDD carrier containing a 80gig HDD set as Master to my Suse 9 notebook via the USB port.
I think I see it via lsusb as the following
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 067b:3507 Prolific Technology, Inc.
After this I have no idea how to address the device.
What I want to do is to dump the contents of my notebook HDD to the external drive so I may make a clean load of Suse 9.1 to the notebook.
Help, please?
Thanks! dmc
Tail your logs (/var/log/messages) while you plug in and power on the drive. It will five you enough informations to mount the drive. For instance: when I plug my external disk into the usb port and apply power I see the following: ------------------------------ pen:~# tail -f /var/log/messages Jun 10 15:44:38 pen kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-1, assigned address 6 Jun 10 15:44:38 pen kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 732 Jun 10 15:44:39 pen kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Jun 10 15:44:39 pen kernel: scsi4 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Jun 10 15:44:39 pen kernel: Vendor: IC25N040 Model: ATCS04-0 Rev: 0811 Jun 10 15:44:39 pen kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Jun 10 15:44:39 pen kernel: Attached scsi disk sdd at scsi4, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Jun 10 15:44:39 pen kernel: SCSI device sdd: 78140160 512-byte hdwr sectors (40008 MB) Jun 10 15:44:39 pen kernel: sdd: sdd1 ---------------------------- There...
