[SLE] A-Data PD9 512MB Flash drive problems
Suse 9.3. I'm trying to get an A-Data PD9 512 Flash drive to work so far without success. lsusb lists the drive (though it calls it a feiya drive) The relevant entry in /proc/bus/usb/devices says T: Bus=04 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=04 Cnt=02 Dev#= 9 Spd=480 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=090c ProdID=1000 Rev=11.00 S: Manufacturer=USB 2.0 S: Product=Flash Disk S: SerialNumber=AB00000000004505 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=06 Prot=50 Driver=usbfs E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=31875us lsmod shows the scsi module installed: usb_storage 63936 0 scsi_mod 125384 5 usb_storage,sg,st,sr_mod,sd_mod But when I try to mount it as /dev/sda or /dev/sdb (as the manual says) I get a "No media found" message. What am I doing wrong?

What am I doing wrong? 9.3 would mount usb flash drives as /media/usbdisk, and would normally automount it. Try mount all by itself to see if it is already mounted, and if it is, just open the directory with the file manager of choice. HTH.

notice that an usb key can die unexpectabely. Mine did. the enevning it was perfectly read (and written) by linux and windows XP, one hour latter is was no more... nothing happenned between the two that could explain the failure :-( in an other situation, I had to use an other usb cable (USB2 too fast :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Thanks for the information. I see no directory /media/usbstick and mount shows: /dev/hda6 on / type reiserfs (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/hda2 on /part2 type reiserfs (rw) none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devgid=1000,devmode=0664) /dev/fd0 on /media/floppy type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid) Remember that the error message was "No media found" and not "Device already mounted" or something like that. And it is listed in /proc/bus/usb/devices.

Remember that the error message was "No media found" and not "Device already mounted" or something like that. And it is listed in /proc/bus/usb/devices. Have you altered the auto mounting functioning of 9.3? If it is listed with fdisk -l, you could manually mount it (to /mnt for temporary use. If you want to make it easier and better for the long run, add a line to fstab, create a drive icon on your desktop, then you can easily mount and unmount. HTH.

No I did not, but finally the root of all evil manifested itself. Much as I hate to admit it I run Windows XP in a virtual (Parallels) machine in a virtual desktop far far away to play bridge on the internet. (Yes, I know that in that case I should not play bridge on the internet, but there it is) :-) That Windows XP in its sandbox grabbed the flash drive as soon as it was put in there. So it showed up in the Windows environment and I did not see it, because I was not playing bridge, but trying to get the flashdrive to work. :-) Apparently this wreaks havoc with the linux scsi driver, because it did not show up as scsi unit in fdisk -l. But as soon as I put Windows to rest everything worked fine, the stick automounted and worked perfectly.

Do I need to mention the usual bonus good Karma points have been deposited??? ;) Blonde1 -- j Spammers Beware: Tresspassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again! -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
