RE: [ts-7000] Re: How to mount USB drive to TS-7260

["Alex Kulinchenko" <>]

Jacques,

 

I did try to do research on USB drives and I did try to mount the hard drive.  Here are the problems that I am running into:

 

First of all, based on what I found (article "How to format Hard drive in Linux" on eHow), the Linux supposed to detect USB hard drives and at least list them in /dev/ directory as /sd* device. Then I can use fdisk command to create new partitions.  I connected the hard drive and checked the /dev directory and there are no /sd* devices listed there.

 

I also tried to follow "Linux for ARM on TS-72XX" manual where they simply state that to mount USB-thumb drive, I just need to run command:

  mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/luno/part1 /mnt/

I checked the /dev/scsi directory, and the /scsi directory is empty. 

 

The USB modules are installed using TS script /usr/bin/loadUSBModules.sh and the hard drive is connected to USB port.

 

So, I guess at the moment I am having problem finding the hard drive in the directory structure.

 

Any ideas?

I don't have the time to write a step by step guide to using linux. Make some effort to find out what to do and post back with specific commands and errors if you have something specific to TS boards that is a problem.

It sounds like your problems are lack of familiarity with linux that you will resolve quicker general linux site than here. The membership is very small here and most people expect you to show some initiative.

Saying "I haven't tried yet , what do I do?" , it does not surprise me you have not had a flood of replies.

Try to keep questions here TS specific.

HTH
