First of all, I do not have a solution to this problem. I have provided a little info, and some probing questions, to see if we can help solve this problem. I wonder if Erik Troan, who wrote updfstab's man page, reads this list, and has time to offer any suggestions. (I wonder if the solution to this problem is to shut kudzu off using command, as root # service kudzu stop ) (Restart kudzu if you decide you need it for new hardware.)

It's better to learn to fix things, so it's great that you are trying! Let's try to verify some of the related packages have not been modified from their original state, so we know we are all working with the same stuff. Try these commands, as any user, and if no output is produce it means the package is good: $ rpm -q --verify kudzu $ rpm -q --verify kernel $ rpm -q --verify hotplug S.5....T c /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap (My system produces one line of output for hotplug, as shown above, and I expect your will too.) Also please show version for each of those packages to ensure you are up2date. $ rpm -q kudzu kernel hotplug > > On Tue, 2002-12-10 at 17:51, Sandor Suta wrote: > > > Yes, my camera also loads the storage device. > > > I don't know if I have done something wrong when I first was > > > investigating how the usb-camera worked with Redhat, though I'm a newbie > > > on redhat and linux.

I believe I installed RH 8.0 and about a week later just plugged in my camera and # mount /mnt/camera Testing today, I find that plugging the camera in, setting to PC connect and turning its power on, this line is added to /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 This line is not removed when I unmount/shutoff the camera and unplug it. It appears to stay there for good.

Let's establish that USB mass storage cameras _do_ look like SCSI devices: >From # man updfstab USB devices look like SCSI devices to user space, so those are supported as well, but are only added if they are currently attached to the system (having a scsi device assigned to them is not sufficient). ---- My HP PhotoSmart 912 mounts as USB harddrive on /dev/sda1 and is scsi device 0,0,0 > > > > > On Mon, 2002-12-02 at 22:00, Sandor Suta wrote: > > > > > > Hi! > > > > > > I have this problem: When I connect my digital camera (Sony DSC-P5, > > > > > > cyber-shot 3.2) everything works ok, updfstab updates my fstab and > > > > > > creates the directory /mnt/camera and I can mount it like a floppy and > > > > > > do my work. > > > > > > And now when I turn of my camera the problem begin, updfs removes my > > > > > > second "cdrom1" from the fstab and folder /mnt/cdrom1. updfstab don't > > > > > > touch the line for the camera and the folder /mnt/camera, my cdrom1 is > > > > > > acctually an CD-R/RW and uses like my camera the scsibus (when I run > > > > > > cdrecord -scanbus, the camera is on scsibus1 as 1,0,0 and my CD-R/RW on > > > > > > scsibus0 as 0,0,0) I dont know if this info about the scsibus will help > > > > > > troubleshooting? > > > > > > When I turn on my camera again the "cdrom1" reappears, strange... and I > > > > > > can mount my cdrom again without manually change fstab.

Your note about trying to remove the kudzu line from cdrom1 in /etc/fstab is good. This is what I would have recommended. >From # man updfstab: Devices which updfstab adds to /etc/fstab are marked with the kudzu mount option to distinguish them from other devices. updfstab will not remove devices from /etc/fstab unless they are marked with the kudzu mount option. It also ignores devices that are already listed in /etc/fstab, or which have multiple partitions on the media currently inserted. > > > > > > I have installed Redhat 8.0 and I have most settings as default. > > > > > > > > > > > > Do anyone have a clue of what i could do to make this function properly? > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanx for your help! -- Powered by Red Hat Linux 8.0 -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
