Suse10.2 - Seagate external: mount problem


Hi!
I recently finished installing openSuse10.2 on my IBM T60 Thinkpad. As far I know everything is working fine except one thing: When I connect my 200GB external Seagate hard drive to the usb port then nothing happens. I have tried looking around for it but cannot find it. I have no problems connecting usb flash memory sticks however. My kernel is: Linux 2.6.18.8-0.5-default i686

From reading a similar thread at linuxquestions I have included the outputs of "dmesg"(last part) and "grep sd /var/log/messages" below, starting with "dmesg"

Thanks!!!
/Rafael

Try restarting the udev, hal and dbus daemons.
sudo /usr/sbin/rchal restart
sudo /usr/sbin/rcdbus restart

Open sysinfo:/ in konqueror. Is the drive listed? If so, can you right click and choose "mount"? Right click and select properties. If it is a vfat or ntfs drive, are the "Mount Automatically" and "Mount as user" boxes clicked. If is is an ext3 or xfs or similar Linux native filesystem, is "Mount Automatically" checked?

Does a entry exist for a /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab? If so, try commenting it out.

Run "sudo /usr/sbin/udevmonitor" before inserting the cable. You should see a flurry of messages as the event is handled.

The fact that inserting the drive results in a device node being created (/dev/sdb1) indicates that it was detected and a device node created by udev. You can examine the information that udev sees with the command:
udevinfo -q env -n /dev/sdb1. Keep in mind that the next time you insert the drive, /dev/sdc1 might be used instead. Especially if you had inserted a different drive since booting.

Hi!
I performed the sudo commands, but when I afterwards opened sysinfo:/ the external hd drive still had not showed up.

I then tried looking in /etc/fstab and this is what I found:

dev/sda6 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/sda7 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/sda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0


So I didn't comment anything. I then turned the external of, ran sudo /usr/sbin/udevmonitor, and the turned the external on again. This is the information that was written:

UDEV [1184435301.119394] add@/block/sdb/sdb1


Then, the last thing I did was to run the udevinfo -q env -n /dev/sdb1. This is what was written:


ID_VENDOR=ST320082
ID_MODEL=2A
ID_REVISION=0000
ID_SERIAL=ST320082_2A_000000000000
ID_TYPE=disk
ID_BUS=usb
ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:2:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0


In the end I don't have any clue what to do with all this information, I hope you can help me?! I went into /dev and I found sdb1 written in yellow and black, which to a newbie like me says don't touch. But is there some type of command I can run to mount it from /dev? Just a wild guess..

Are you certain that you didn't enter "udevinfo -q env -n /dev/sdb". You don't have any filesystem information.
If you did enter /dev/sdb1, then I think that the filesystem is bad or missing.

Code:
udevinfo -q env -n /dev/sdc1
ID_VENDOR=SanDisk
ID_MODEL=Cruzer_Mini
ID_REVISION=0.2
ID_SERIAL=SanDisk_Cruzer_Mini_20043513301b2c90d482
ID_TYPE=disk
ID_BUS=usb
ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:02.2-usb-0:2:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0
jschiwal@hpamd64:~> eject /dev/sdc1
jschiwal@hpamd64:~> udevinfo -q env -n /dev/sdc1
ID_VENDOR=SanDisk
ID_MODEL=Cruzer_Mini
ID_REVISION=0.2
ID_SERIAL=SanDisk_Cruzer_Mini_20051535630A02E2F57B
ID_TYPE=disk
ID_BUS=usb
ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:02.2-usb-0:2:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0
ID_FS_USAGE=filesystem
ID_FS_TYPE=vfat
ID_FS_VERSION=FAT16
ID_FS_UUID=3B69-1AFD
ID_FS_LABEL=CRUZER128
ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE=CRUZER128
Try running as root: fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1

Hi again and thank you soo much for taking your time in helping me with this problem of mine.
To be sure I again ran the command udevinfo -q env -n /dev/sdb1 and got the following:

rafaelhost:/home/rafael # udevinfo -q env -n /dev/sdb1
ID_VENDOR=ST320082
ID_MODEL=2A
ID_REVISION=0000
ID_SERIAL=ST320082_2A_000000000000
ID_TYPE=disk
ID_BUS=usb
ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:2:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0


I then tried fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1 and answered the questions put to me. This is what I got:


rafaelhost:/home/rafael # fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
No FSINFO sector
1) Create one
2) Do without FSINFO
? 1
Free cluster summary uninitialized (should be 2883833)
1) Set it
2) Leave it uninitialized
? 1
Leaving file system unchanged.
/dev/sdb1: 21745 files, 3219626/6103459 clusters


To see if something changed I ran the previous command again with the same result as before, and I also checked the sysinfo:/ but didn't find anything new...


rafaelhost:/home/rafael # udevinfo -q env -n /dev/sdb1
ID_VENDOR=ST320082
ID_MODEL=2A
ID_REVISION=0000
ID_SERIAL=ST320082_2A_000000000000
ID_TYPE=disk
ID_BUS=usb
ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:2:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0


Then, just to check, I ran fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1 again and answered differently. The result was a lot of action going on in my external hard drive, but in the end I could not see any difference.


rafaelhost:/home/rafael # fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
No FSINFO sector
1) Create one
2) Do without FSINFO
? 2

Can you mount it manually as root with

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

and browse it as root?

Yes I can! But it still doesn't show up in sysinfo:/. Is there some way to make it more easily accessible for normal users?
