Hello,
I'm having trouble getting my XS Drive II working. I want to at least be able to access the hard drive. I think I should also be able to access flash cards, but that would be icing on the cake. Linux sees it and even tells me it is a drive, but I get the "not claimed by any active driver." message.
After looking at dmesg output I added this
/dev/sda /mnt/xs vfat auto,user 0 0
to /etc/fstab. But when I tried to mount it, mount hung (and I couldn't even kill the process).
Here's what I have so far:
I'm running Redhat 9 (2.4.20-8).

FAQ 17 - Linux 2.4 does not automatically recognize my X's-Drive
Answer:
Linux uses a so-called "USB Manager", which does automatically loads kernel modules (drivers) for USB devices. It loads only drivers for devices that are present on the USB bus to reduce memory usage. Per default the USB Manager does not come with X's-Drive pre -configured. However you can easily configure the USB Manager to automatically recognize the X's-Drive yourself. Just add the following to the configuration file, usbmgr.conf(usually in /etc/usbmgr): vendor 0xd7d product 0x100 module scsi_mod, usb-storage.
This line identifies the X's-Drive and tells the USB Manager to load the SCSI as well as the USB storage module. The SCSI module is needed in order to talk to both SCSI and USB Storage devices, while the usb storage module is needed to talk to USB storage devices.

And this from the FAQ at vosonic.com.

Question - I have formated the X's-Drive II under Windows, but I cannot mount the volume under Linux by the mount /dev/sdd1 command
Answer - A different volume format called Superfloppy (not including a partition) is made by Windows
- To mount a Superfloppy volume under Linux, a partition number must not be specified in the device name:
mount /dev/sdd

I haven't yet tried usbmgr, since all the modules they mention already are loaded.
Thanks for any help,
Max
