hi all
whenever i put a USB pen drive in the USB slots it gets recognized in
Linux and i can mount it using simple mount /dev/sda1 command.
Problem is whenever i put the device in the slot before booting the
Linux it doesnt recognize it.At this point even if i plug it out and
insert it again , it still doesnot detects it.Can anybody explain why
this is so?
This is what i can make out.
When the Linux machine is up, the initialization task is ok but
whenever the slot is occupied and the machine is say rebooted, the SCSI
subsystem when initialized does a simple bus reset which makes the
device usually unaccessible by the SCSI midlayer.And thus though no
matter how hard we try we cannot access the off node, untill i remove
and reinsert the scsi module again.
Am i right??
Please explain and correct me if i am wrong.
thanks
pradeep
