In my case, I would like to enable USB device for our RHEL Ver 5.2. Redhat support told me it's intentionally disabled for root under Redhat Ver 5.x for security reason but I'm not convinced though I've not tried with non-root accounts yet. I checked /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist & there's no entry on usb_storage. So how do I enable USB (thumb drive or 2.5" USB disk) in my case? I could manually mount the USB device though : mount -t vfat /dev/sdj1 /mount_point Not much luck with the redhat support so far despite sending numerous logs & sosreport. Whenever I insert a thumb drive, dmesg or messages shows: date... kernel: SCSI device sdj: ... byte date... kernel: write protect is off date... kernel: assuming rive cache write through date... kernel: sdj: sdl date... kernel: attached SCSI removable disk sdj date... kernel: attached SCSI sg13 type 0 Thanks U On 7/22/08, Chet Nichols III <chet.nichols@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > hey paul- > try putting an entry of "blacklist usb_storage" in > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist > instead of just "usb_storage" and see if that works. > > good luck! > > chet > > On Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 9:49 AM, Paul M.
