External Speedzter5 Enclosure
 
Has anyone had any luck in hooking up a Speedzter5 external USB2/Firewire enclosure? I'm running Slackware 9.1 and I've been googling for a while on this with no luck. I look through dmesg and the USB2 part gets dected fine. I see things like the scsi0 bus and generic device /dev/sg0 when it's connected with the USB2 cable, but I don't see anything when I boot with the Firewire cable. I also haven't found the definitive way to write it up in /etc/fstab. I don't know whether to use sd0, sa0, sg0 or what. Each thing I find when searching uses a different device and I'm getting kind of frustrated. The drive is a 6GB drive formatted with FAT32.

I want the drive to have a mount point of /mnt/ext and you can see above that I have it going to sg0. I have no idea if that's right. When I grep dmesg, I see:

If there are any other outputs needed, please let me know! Once again, thanks in advance for any help I can get with this ... thanks!

Problem solved!

I had to add "modprobe sd_mod" to rc.local to start with. I unplugged and plugged back in the drive and did a "tail -10 /var/log/messages" to watch the hot-plug; it then told me that the device was sda. However, at that point, I had no idea where the mount point was supposed to be on sda, so I did a fdisk /dev/sda and at the command menu, I did a "p" to check out the table. I saw that the W95FAT was under sda5 and that solved it! One "mount -t vfat /dev/sda5 /mnt/ext" later and it workes like a charm! So that's the USB2 working, I'll work on the Firewire sometime later.
