Second firewire external hdd enclosure fails to appear as a scsi device;
looks like I'm having the same problem as /questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=187792
to which nobody had an answer... Essentially I have two near identical, pretty generic USB 2.0 & Firewire external HDD boxes, both with 80gb NTFS drives in them. If I plug either one into the (single) firewire port on my computer, it appears as /dev/sda without a problem. If I plug one into USB and one into firewire they're both there as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb - the problem arises with daisy chaining; both these enclosures have 2 firewire ports on for daisychaining, however, while the second drive will generate a load of spaff in dmesg, it refuses to get recognised as a hdd. Sequence of events follows: Plug 1st enclosure into firewire on pc, power on drive, it appears as /dev/sda, and the following spaff in dmesg: Code:
[root@jericho /]# dmesg -c The second enclosure is plugged into the spare firewire port on the first enclosure (currently connected one) and powered on restulting in the following spaff from dmesg and an utter lack of /dev/sdb: Code:
[root@jericho /]# dmesg -c Code:
[root@jericho /]# uname -a Help very much appreciated Ta David |
Does which hard drive you plug in first impact the results you see? Do you have any non-drive firewire devices that can verify that the daisy-chaining works at all?

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but you may also wish to look at this thread online: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum...fm/387670.html

Doesn't appear to make any difference what order they're in
