 |

Ok, I have an 80gb Maxtor USB hard drive that i just connected to my computer. I cant for the life of me figure out how to mount this thing. This is the output I get from dmesg:
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

There is nothing in /dev/usb and there are no /dev/sd* files. I am at a loss.
Any ideas? |

What about /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0? What's inside that?
Which modules do you have loaded (post output of lsmod)? Is this supposed to be a usb 1(.1) or 2 connection (post output of lspci -v)?
Have you tried using the hotplug script:
| Code: | emerge hotplug
rc-update add hotplug default |
It requires usb things as modules as far as I know. |

| Ok, I emerged hotplug and after alot of messing around I finally got the USB HD to mount. However, when I installed hotplug I got something about fxload. Do I need to install that? If so, how do I configure it. Or does it just work after being installed? Thanks for all the help. |

D'oh.  I just selected yes in my kernel because I knew I wanted them. I wonder why they have to modules. |

Even if you know so, that's not a reason to put things in the kernel rather than as modules, keep the kernel small & modular, especially with usb/firewire and other "modern" hotpluggable things  |

I don't know; I don't have it. Mine is working ok without it as far as I can tell.

I don't know how to find out what is accessing it. But you could try unmounting it with the lazy option:
| Code: | | # umount -l <mountpoint> |
which will simply wait until the device isn't busy anymore as I understand it. If you really want to umount, try to force it with -f:
| Code: | | # umount -f <mountpoint> |
I don't know how dangerous that is, though. Tell me how it goes I'd say if you have a decent fs on it that is quickly checked (ext3, reiserfs), it shouldn't be a problem to do that. |
