SCSI Error with memory stick

drben · 07-27-2005, 04:39 PM

I would appreciate an interpretation of a SCSI error message I get when plugging in my USB flash drive. A long post to show you what I've tried from reading these fora.

cinnamon:/ # uname -a

When I plug in the flash drive, SUSE detects and mounts it at:
/media/usb-00000000000407:0:0:0p1

I can also mount by typing
mount /dev/sdb1

fdisk -l shows

However, I cannot open files on the flash drive, and it eventually freezes the file browser.
Here is some of the output from /var/log/messages (duplicate lines much edited out!):

I'm starting to suspect that there may be a physical problem with the device...
Any advice or guidance would be much appreciated.

Those messages do very much look like indications of a possible physical problems (at least, they would with 'real' scsi devices.) Have you tried it on another computer to check the device itself?

On another note... mmm... cinnamon... making me hungry. Time to go home from work anyway.

drben · 07-27-2005, 04:56 PM

it works fine under windoze...

so far!
