mounting usb devices

I recently decided to try out arch again and I was trying to set up automounting on KDE. I am using the HAL and DBUS daemon and the kde automount thing. I then decided to try to mount my usb stick and ipod manually and neither of them worked. I tryed mount /dev/sda1  and various other variations and then i checked my /dev directory and found that there was no sd anything entry there at all. any help at all would be greatly appreciated

Re: mounting usb devices

Could you post what is in dev?

ls /dev

Then we can try to find the right device smile

Re: mounting usb devices

Huh, you have a TON of devices in there. Do you know what pty or mdd are?

Try posting the output of fdisk -l

Re: mounting usb devices

You are going to have to use pmount to mount your iPod as far as I can tell.  The recent udev upgrade broke automounting for me, and if I mount it under /mnt, transfers are slower than molasses running uphil on a cold day.  This is with either usb or firewire.

Partition table entries are not in disk order

as for the modules question, what modules must I load?

Re: mounting usb devices

try this post out put
udevinfo -a -p /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.4/usb1/1-X  <where X defines how many times you plugged & replugged device in


you may need to write a udev rule

Re: mounting usb devices

Here is what I did: created a udev entry (stole one from the gentoo wiki actually) and banged together a perl script that deals with the issue.  My "coding" skills are weak at best, but it works for me - there are probably better ways to do this.  You will NOT get a nice icon on your desktop, but you'll be able to access your iPod.

Rule:

BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}=="Apple*", SYSFS{model}=="iPod*", NAME=="ipod"

Place this in a file called 00.udev.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d if you want to follow The Arch Way.

Perl Script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

if($ARGV[0] =~ /-m/){
   if(-e '/media/ipod'){die "Something is already mounted on ipodn";}
      print "Mounting iPod...n";
      system('pmount /dev/ipod ipod');
      if(-e '/media/ipod'){
         print "OK, it's mounted.n";
      }else{
         print "Uh oh, it didn't mount - something went wrong!n";
      }
}

if($ARGV[0] =~ /-u/){
   if(!-e '/media/ipod'){die "ipod isn't mountedn";}
      print "Unmounting iPod...n";
      system('pumount /media/ipod');
      if(!-e '/media/ipod'){
         print "OK, it's unmounted...n";
      }else{
         print "Uh oh, it didn't unmount - something went wrong!n";
      }
      system('eject /dev/ipod');
      print "OK, unless you see a bunch of errors, you can unplug the iPod now.n";
}

I have a much more polished version of this that includes a vCard creation tool if you have any interest.  This snippet will deal with the mounting, unmounting and ejecting though.

i tried writing a udev rule like this for my iPod but it didn't work:

BUS=="usb", SYSFS{vendor}=="Apple*", SYSFS{serial}=="###", SYSFS{model}=="iPod*", NAME=="ipod"

Replace the last == with =, the correct line must be

BUS=="usb", SYSFS{vendor}=="Apple*", SYSFS{serial}=="###", SYSFS{model}=="iPod*", NAME="ipod"

if it didn't work try removing the <code>SYSFS{serial}=="###",</code> section

Re: mounting usb devices

Huh - that rule I posted works perfectly with "NAME=="ipod"" - I'm using a firewire port though.  However, on my Ubuntu lappy, that exact same rule works fine for its usb ports, too, though their udev is several versions behind arch's, and still (IIRC) uses usbdevfs.  I never could find a serial# on my ipod, and never had to use one anywhere - I imagine you'd only need to if you had more than one ipod, and needed each to mount differently.

Re: mounting usb devices

I have  VIA KT400 chipset if that helps anyone. Perhaps someone with that same chipset could tell me how they got their system working?
