Mount USB vfat and IEEE1394 vfat hdd"s on separate pci

 

    Trying to mount /dev/sda1 as USB HDD vfat system and /dev/sda2 as IEEE1394 vfat hdd simultaneously using PCI interfaces for each.

    I haven't been able to establish sda2 in cdrecord -scanbus but the sda1 hdd on USB 2.0 is recognized in  -scanbus and can be mounted.

   Modprobe -v ohci1394 and modprobe sbp2 have both been entered.  When using only the IEEE1394 HDD (no USB2.0 HDD connected) I can mount the IEEE1394 HDD as sda1.

   Do I need to change the identification in fstab to sdb1?

   Fstab:
      /dev/sda1      /mnt/fat1   vfat     defaults       0     0
    /dev/sda2       /mnt/fat2    vfat     defaults       0    0

sdb1 is much more likely to be the firewire drive.  If it was sda2, it'd be a partition on the USB drive.

: D  Xentac;

    Sdb1 indeed! That was the solution, now both are available simultaneously.

    Thanks for the response.
