 |
|
When I plug a USB Mass storage device into my computer, dmesg outputs this:
| Code: | usb 2-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
usb 2-6: configuration #2 chosen from 1 choice
scsi8 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 2
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
scsi 8:0:0:0: Direct-Access TOSHIBA MK2006GAL BY30 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS
SCSI device sdf: 39063024 512-byte hdwr sectors (20000 MB)
sdf: Write Protect is off
sdf: Mode Sense: 00 4a 00 00
sdf: assuming drive cache: write through
SCSI device sdf: 39063024 512-byte hdwr sectors (20000 MB)
sdf: Write Protect is off
sdf: Mode Sense: 00 4a 00 00
sdf: assuming drive cache: write through
sdf: sdf1
sd 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdf
usb-storage: device scan complete
|
This implies I must mount /dev/sdf, right?
Well, there is no /dev/sdf. I must be doing something wrong. Any tips?

that's weird - of course, you wouldn't mount /dev/sdf since
that's not a partition but there should definitely *be* a
/dev/sdf. Dmesg says to mount /dev/sdf1 but I guess that
doesn't exist either, eh? |

Right.
Right now I have a card reader attacked, and it seems to have mapped each of those to sdb, sdc, sdd, etc. Should I try detaching that? |

I can't think of anything else to do 
See if with the card reader gone the usb stick shows up and works as
sdb .... I don't know what that would prove, but at least you could
use the thing. |
