[maemo-users] USB Flash Drive

  What you're seeing is symptomatic of having switched the 770 to host
mode via the "echo host > /sys/devices/platform/tahvo-usb/otg_mode"
method.  I have never gotten my 770 to work as a host this way, and
it's sad that this is actually given as an alternative to using the
flasher program because it doesn't seem to work.  At one point I had
my 770 set to host mode (via the flasher method) and had modified one
of the init scripts to set it back to slave mode via "echo slave >
/sys/devices/platform/tahvo-usb/otg_mode".  After that "echo host >
/sys/devices/platform/tahvo-usb/otg_mode" would make it switch back to
host mode successfully, allowing it to be done on-the-fly.  Not sure
why doing it from the default slave mode doesn't work.
  Once you have host mode working you'll see info about your USB drive
appear and a device created (Usually /dev/sda1) that you can mount.
