USB mount point is not shown in /dev entry point


Hi All,

I flashed initrd image in to flash memory and booted the board.

After inserting the pendrive following logs are shown:

# usb 1-1.3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=058f, idProduct=6387

sda: unknown partition table
sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through

but when i checked in /dev,, sda mount point is not present.

Please let me know how i need to mount in in /dev ot where it will be mounted other than /dev?

I guess you are not running udev, which would create the /dev node.
In that case you can make the dev entry yourself with
Code:
mknod /dev/sda b 8 0
where b is for block device and 8,0 are the major and minor numbers as shown in /proc/partitions.

It seems odd that there is no label on your pendrive. Normally there is an msdos label and you mount /dev/sda1.

More infor required

Hi,

Thanks for ur valuable response.

In ur below reply "where b is for block device and 8,0 are the major and minor numbers as shown in /proc/partitions."

In /proc/ one file is present with "partions". In this file nothing is there.

How do i find the major and minor number for this device?

FYI:
Aftre inserting the pendrive ,in /proc/usb-device/scsi is this directory a number(4 or 5,which matches with sda when inserted) is present.

Is this number helpful for us?

How about if you try:
Code:
cat /sys/block/sda/dev
