usb disk does not appear...

zander · Post by **zander** » 04 Feb 2009, 00:22

hi,

some usb disks do not appear in the "disk" page of my admin account of bubba.

i have a western digital 1tb that i am trying to mount. it was partitioned and formated as ext2, a single primary partition. it mounts automatically in ubuntu 8.10 when you plug it into a usb port. it is a no-show when i plug it into a usb port on bubba. i am using scenario 4 with an airport extreme.

please advise.

Doesn't it appear in the Webinterface (logged in with the admin account! ) ?

Then try this:
Disconect you disk and login with putty ssh, reconnect your disk and do the following:

Code: Select all

su
dmesg

It should say something like this:

Code: Select all

Is this the case??

hi,

here is the output from dmesg. i am an ubuntu guy so i just use ssh if that is okay. the output was quite long from dmesg but here is all of it anyway. there are some errors in the output but it DOES show the western digital "My Book" usb drive but it still does not show up in the "Disk" page of the bubba2 admin account...

please advise.

thank you for helping.

The problem is that the MyBook device isnt mapped to a /dev/sdb or c d e... device. I dont have an explanation for that.

what shows up with the command:

Code: Select all

ls -l /dev/sd*

you should get something like this:

Code: Select all

root@bubba:~# ls -l /dev/sd*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk   8,  0 2009-02-03 23:31 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk   8,  1 2009-02-03 23:31 /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk   8,  2 2009-02-03 23:31 /dev/sda2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk   8,  3 2009-02-03 23:31 /dev/sda3
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 16 2009-02-04 13:38 /dev/sdb
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 17 2009-02-04 13:38 /dev/sdb1
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 32 2009-02-04 21:49 /dev/sdc
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 33 2009-02-04 21:49 /dev/sdc1

(I have made an extra partition and two usb-disks attached on my bubba)
If there is no /dev/sdb of /dev/sdc you could disconnect the device and make them yourself with the following commands:

Code: Select all

root@bubba:~# mknod /dev/sdb b 8 16
root@bubba:~# chgrp floppy /dev/sdb
root@bubba:~# mknod /dev/sdb1 b 8 17
root@bubba:~# chgrp floppy /dev/sdb1
root@bubba:~# chmod 660 /dev/sdb1
root@bubba:~# chmod 660 /dev/sdb

And now reconnect the disk
But to be honest, I doubt if that solves your problem.

Anybody else suggestions?

zander · Post by **zander** » 04 Feb 2009, 17:03

here is the output from the last command you suggested...

Code: Select all

bubba:/home/af# ls -l /dev/sd*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 2009-02-03 18:26 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 2009-02-03 18:26 /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 2009-02-03 18:26 /dev/sda2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 2009-02-03 18:26 /dev/sda3
bubba:/home/af#

i edited the first posting of the dmesg command to include ALL the the output because i thought it might help diagnose the problem.

i will try your other suggestion and post the results.

thank you.

hi,

i tried repartitioning the drive with 2 x 450gb partitions and one 52gb partition and still no luck. i am using gparted to do the partitioning.

i was looking through the output from dmesg and noticed that there is a line

Code: Select all

Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods

perhaps this is a clue? the /dev/sd are whats in play her no?

i ran the bubba update tool as soon as i logged in the first time though.

thank you for any help.

please advise.
