Some info about '/proc/scsi/scsi' and '/dev'
i have an external usb hd.I wanna mount it to slack9.1.
the method i used up to now to determine in which /dev/sdxx my hd is, i did "/dev$ ls | grep sd*", but that's not very handy. When i write "cat proc/scsi/scsi" i get some info about my drive but i cannot understand in which devise(/dev) is attached to. Any ideas? |
The addresses are exact hardware locations
For example when I run cat /proc/scsi/scsi I get: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: Slimtype Model: COMBO LSC-24081M Rev: 3GM7 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This just gives hardware addresses. You will need to map the /dev/usb portion to /dev/scd0 in order to mount the drive and define it in /etc/fstab Try installing the app usbview-1.0-i686-1jto.tgz from http://linuxpackages.net and see if that will provide some more information about what is connected to your usb ports. |

get "numbered" starting from a, and cd's and hdd's in SCSI are distinct, so it's safe to assume that it will always be /dev/sda (if you don't attach another hdd at the same time, that is). I'd recommend having a look at http://www.dotaster.com/~shuu/linux/usbmgr/ It will allow you to have the HDD mounted automagically on plug-in (no, it can't unmount it safely if you pull the plug first ;}) Cheers, Tink |
so there is no another way to get the device without installing any package ??

Sure is ... as I said: it's safe to assume that
it will always be /dev/sda All you need to do manually is to load the relevant modules (maybe slack 9.x's hotplug does that auto- magically for you?) uhci/ohci/ehci-hcd (whichever is valid for you) usbcore usbscsi scsi_mod sd_mod sg And then mount it as per usual, you can even put the appropriate entry in /etc/fstab and allow users to do it. usbmgr would just make it nicer :} Cheers, Tink |
