external HD (with enclosure) USB cannot be read by VL

[icedtea]

hi. . . seems my external hd with enclosure USB cannot be read by VL 5 SOHO whereas my usb flash disk can be read. .

1. upon inserting the HD : /var/log/messages produce the output :

Code:

here is the output of /var/log/messages :

Oct 9 19:10:30 darkstar kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 58
Oct 9 19:10:31 darkstar kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 59
Oct 9 19:10:31 darkstar kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 60
Oct 9 19:10:32 darkstar kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 61
Oct 9 19:10:32 darkstar kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 62

2. upon checking the usage (df -hT) its not read --

Code:

df -hT
Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc12
          reiserfs     14G  6.1G  8.0G  43% /
none         tmpfs    506M     0  506M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1     vfat     19G   14G  5.1G  74% /mnt/windows
/dev/hda5     vfat     20G   12G  7.9G  60% /mnt/winbak

3. BUT when i insert my USB flash disk : it is read

Code:

df -hT
Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc12
          reiserfs     14G  6.1G  8.0G  43% /
none         tmpfs    506M     0  506M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1     vfat     19G   14G  5.1G  74% /mnt/windows
/dev/hda5     vfat     20G   12G  7.9G  60% /mnt/winbak
[b]/dev/sda1     vfat    499M  176M  324M  36% /mnt/vl-hot/sda/vol1[/b]

do i have to configure something else?

when i use winxp, the usb HD works. .

Those seem to be incomplete log messages. Open up a console and type: "tail -f /var/log/messages". Plug in the drive. Watch the messages and paste them here. You should see it listed as /dev/something...Then try mounting it yourself (as root in a console) with:
mount /dev/something /mnt/test

and see if you can mount it,,,,

ok sir i will try again upon coming home. but as far as i remember, (though i was not able to copy the first part of the log, i did not saw anything related to /dev/**** or the like.. when i inserted the usb HD whereas when i inserted the usb flash drive.. it was read as something like :

mounting /dev/** in /mnt/vl-hot/sda/vol1

I also did not saw anything related to /dev/sda* in /dev/ when the usb hd is inserted .. while in the usb flash disk, I saw this /dev/sda and also /dev/sda1


UPDATE :

upon inserting the usb hd using VL 5.8 :

root:# tail -f /var/log/messages

Oct 10 16:42:45 vector kernel: usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd  and address 3

i think its not read still

my mount command :

mount
/dev/hdc3 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime)
/dev/hda1 on /mnt/windows type vfat (rw,umask=0,quiet,shortname=mixed)
/dev/hda5 on /mnt/winback type vfat (rw,umask=0,quiet,shortname=mixed)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devgid=10,devmode=0666)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)

Hi icedtea, maybe you need to insert some module into the kernel to access that device. what is the exactly make and model? could you post the outputs of lsusb and fdisk -l commands? You need to be logged as root. Could be an udev issue also.

i think i got the issue here.. BUT still i got a problem...
i just bought another enclosure that states it can be run in kernel 2.4 higher and YES it was read. . BUT ..  the problem is. . .it is being read by 4 filesystem ----

there are 4 of them!!! the sad news is. . .everytime i try to write. . its not permitted because its mounted as READ ONLY fs. . .

I am a bit confused here regarding which exact version of VL you are using, or have you referred to several? A few suggestions anyway:

That last log with the second enclosure looks as if it was connecting/disconnecting multiple times in rapid sequence, maybe a bad cable or USB port (have you tried others?). If the drive is disconnecting due to some hardware or cable problem, the ntfs filesystem will become "dirty" and won't mount until it is "cleaned up" in windows. Newer ntfs-3g versions help with this I think, though it can be force-mounted by using ntfs-3g manually with a certain parameter.

If the drive works in windows with the same cable and USB port, it is unlikely to be a hardware problem. In this case, and if you are using 5.8 SOHO, it could conceivably (though such a bad case is unlikely) be a hal vs. vl-hot conflict. Search for a recent thread where this was discussed for ways to disable one or the other.

The reported version of ntfs-3g is also very old and one of the beta releases. Though it worked pretty well back then, it is a probably a good idea to upgrade fuse, fuse_module and ntfs-3g.

In the case of the first enclosure, I have seen USB ports "fall asleep" in a loop like that in Linux before, unplugging and replugging normally gets the drive recognized, but I suppose you already did this. Maybe it is simply incompatible somehow. Also, some USB ports used to have problems because the wrong module was loaded automatically, what hardware are you running on? Post the output of lsmod just in case.

Hope some of this helps...

the laptop hd with enclosure is HItachi. iv tested it in both VL 5.1 soho and 5.8  gold (xfce as the dsktop)

btw i saw this thread -- (http://www.vectorlinux.com/forum2/index.php?topic=786.15) i think its similar?

http://www.vectorlinux.com/forum2/index.php?topic=4481.0 --- i have posted another thread to which my problem is more specific.

3. in my VL 5.8 gold, i can see this /vol1/sd* --icon appear in the desktop upon the insertion of the usb hd. but since i  have this changing mountpoint problem.. starting from icon /vol/sda, there comes icon for /vol/sdb, sdc, sdd, sde. and it has the unmount icon also.... (similar as stated in the thread that i saw)

5. WHAT if . . .i reformat my usb hd then change it to FAT32? is this possible?

[Joe1962]

I don't think reformatting will help. Somehow the scsi subsystem is seeing several drives at the hardware level...


EDIT: On 5.8 Standard Gold you shouild upgrade to latest vl-hot, though this shouldn't have anything to do with most of the problems described, though it might help on some unmount issues.

BTW, are using the stock kernels?

[icedtea]

il update you when i use my vl 5,8 gold. i am currently using VL 5.1 soho. ..

i think i got again the problem BUT still there is another one

1. i changed cables.. i used the other usb cable included (shorter one ) about less than 5inches..

2. it is now stable at :

Oct 12 06:33:51 vector vl-hot_mount: Starting vl-mount...

Oct 12 06:33:52 vector vl-hot_mount: Finishing vl-mount...

3.. now i can VIEW my files. ..BUT i cant write to it. . .

the permissions :

a.  i saw this in syslog :

Oct 12 06:51:03 vector kernel: NTFS-fs warning (device sdb1): ntfs_setattr(): Changes in user/group/mode are not supported yet, ignoring.
Oct 12 06:51:03 vector last message repeated 9 times

Oct 12 06:54:55 vector kernel: NTFS-fs warning (device sdb1): ntfs_setattr(): Changes in user/group/mode are not supported yet, ignoring.

b. the mount command :

/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/vl-hot/sdb/vol1 type ntfs (rw)  ---its a read write fs supposed to be right?




d. permissions :

drwxr-xr-x   6 root root   144 2007-10-12 06:15 vl-hot/


[root@vector/mnt/vl-hot]# ls -l

c. the testing process :


[root@vector/mnt/vl-hot/sdb/vol1/winbackup]# mkdir test
mkdir: cannot create directory `test': Operation not permitted

[Joe1962]

Ok, making progress...

5.1 SOHO did not have ntfs-3g (wasn't around back then), but the older kernel ntfs driver, which can be set to read/write, but it is not really recommended, as it wasn't safe.

5.1 SOHO did not have ntfs-3g (wasn't around back then), but the older kernel ntfs driver, which can be set to read/write, but it is not really recommended, as it wasn't safe.

so meaning i cant use my usb hd in VL 5.1 soho? how sad. . .

ok il test it in my VL 5.8 gold. .hopefully it can work. ..


but wait. .. since you said that VL 5 does not support the ntfs 3g.. so wat if i reformat it to FAT32? i am not yet worried  for the files that will be lost since the original files are still stored in the office

[Joe1962]

so wat if i reformat it to FAT32?

Yes, that should work...

Now you're getting some NTFS filesystem errors that you should fix in Windows before using the drive in VL.
