|
|
I'm able to get access to /dev/sda1 when I plug a usb device in but I have a hub which has four ports. What are the different 'addresses' for these ports, is it stanard or does it go by which one I access first?
In the hub I have
- Printer (works)
- External Mouse (works)
- Flash drive (sometimes in, works)
- Camera (sometimes in, works)
And I'm going to be hooking up a Hard drive and an external DVD burner. Any suggestions? |

errm, the device nodes are created for devices not for ports on a usb hub.
presumably the system will create new device nodes when you plug in devices |

if they are mass storge devices, yes.
Scannesrs and others will have differenbt notes. i dont know anything about scanners and linux.
If you blug another usb kery in for esample the system should create a /dev/sdb? entry |
