Hello,

I am trying to detect a hard drive connected via firewire, but I don't see the Maxtor OneTouch drive. What can I do to locate it?

Thanks in advance,

Let me one more detail; I am running Suse 10.0.

Thanks again,

I'm pretty sure I've used firewire with 10.0.

When you plug it in does anything show up in dmesg?

ie. dmesg | tail -50 should provide diagnostic info related to plugging in the drive.

It should also tell which drive name is assigned. ie /dev/sda etc.

Then you can check if it was automounted by just typing mount, but if not:

fdisk -l /dev/sd? should give you a list of partitions.

mount /dev/sd?1 /mnt etc should allow you to manually mount it.

Once you have all of that working you can come back and look at your automount logic. (I don't know much about that. I typically prefer manual mounts so I have full control.) ~~~~

Thanks Greg,

All I see is the following;

ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023 ieee1394: Node suspended: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[0010b92100a33b9a] ieee1394: Node resumed: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[0010b92100a33b9a]

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sorry, looks like you have a pretty basic issue to me. ie. There should be more output than the above. If no one can help you here I would look for a LKML-ieee1394 mailing list (ieee1394 is the ISO name for firewire.) The kernel your running is sort of old for a LKML list, but they may at least help you with troubleshooting.
