Can't find USB SCSI emulation device
Okay, this is my first forum post...I've always been able to Google everything up to this point (I've been using linux for about 5 months).
My problem is with an NEC DVD-Burner that I just bought. I have everything I need to use SCSI emulation, as I have been using an external hardrive enclosure via USB. It works fine. I just mount /dev/sda1 and presto... So, I got this burner, plugged it up, and the first time I do it everything's great...it's on sda, the harddrive is on sdb1. But, I realize I don't have a blank DVD, therefore I can't make sure it mounts (it says wrong FS--duh). Alright, so got around to getting DVDs today and plugged it in again. This time the hard drive is on sda1, so I assume the burner is on sdb, but it's not there. ( I get 'special device sdb does not exist'. I checked /dev...there's nothing there but sda). I'm missing the line that usually goes sda:sda1 at the end of dmesg: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5 scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 5 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6 scsi6 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 6 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Vendor: Maxtor 6 Model: Y080L0 Rev: YAR4 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 SCSI device sda: 160086528 512-byte hdwr sectors (81964 MB) sda: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sda: 160086528 512-byte hdwr sectors (81964 MB) sda: assuming drive cache: write through sda: sda1 Attached scsi disk sda at scsi5, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 usb-storage: device scan complete Vendor: _NEC Model: DVD_RW ND-3540A Rev: 1.01 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 00 usb-storage: device scan complete --------------------------- cat /proc/scsi/scsi gives me this: Attached devices: Host: scsi5 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: Maxtor 6 Model: Y080L0 Rev: YAR4 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi6 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: _NEC Model: DVD_RW ND-3540A Rev: 1.01 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 I thought maybe the problem was plugging it into a usb 1.1 port, because the first time I plugged it into my usb 2.0 pcmcia card. So, I tried that and it didn't work. It also doesn't help if the hard drive is not plugged in. Oh, and I'm using Debian Unstable with kernel 2.6.13. Thank you! Sydney |
Actually your burner should be /dev/scd0. Scsi CD devices use a different type of sturcture than IDE device blocks.
Hope this helps. Brian1 |

Look at the output of the lsmod command. Do you see a module sr_mod?
If not then try: modprobe sr_mod Then look for a /dev/scd0 or /dev/sr0 device. |
