Re: USB disks

No, not only on 2.4 kernels. On the 2.6.19-1.2895 kernel too (Fedora Core 6). I dont know about FC7 or 8 and USB hard drives.

Are you both experiencing these issues on the 2.4 kernel - where USB
support was not as mature as on the 2.6
Kernel where USB support is a lot better.

I have experienced the same issue using USB hard drives when using
Fedora. It's strange you have to reboot the OS. Is there anyone who
knows how to avoid a reboot in these situations?

Geofrey,

I found the problem.

RedHat has to be booted. The USB disk cannot have any
electrical current to the disk.
Then connect the USB to the RedHat system. Now plug the USB disk into
the electrical current to turn it on.

You will see the disk listed using

lsusb

Reboot your system and the USB disk is recognized as the old
/dev/sdb again.

I don't know why this works, but I am glad I have it working
again.

Thanks for all your help.

Try unplugging it, then type:

# tail -f /var/log/messages

Then plug it back in - you should see messages written to this file.

Nope. I just see the system disk.

The device might have changed names - from /dev/sdb to /dev/sda/c/d/e

Can you see the device with:

# fdisk -l

I have a laCie auxiliary disk which has been working on a 2.4.21-53
RedHat system. The disk was accidently turned off during the
afternoon. Now I cannot get the device recognized by the system
again. The system can't open /dev/sdb.

I was able to mount the disk on a newer RedHat system, but I need to

get it working on the previous system.

What should I do next?
