a short followup from a previous post -- having been away from the
TS boards for a couple years, i quickly rediscovered the
/usr/bin/loadUSB* scripts for loading the appropriate USB and SCSI
modules so i could mount a USB drive, and the command is
straightforward:
$ mount -t vfat /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/usbdrive
however, i could have sworn that i used to be able to do this by
mounting via the device file "/dev/sda1". certainly, when i run the
load modules script, i can see in dmesg:
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sda: 7974912 512-byte hdwr sectors (4083 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
so dmesg clearly recognizes the device as "sda", but there's no
/dev/sda1 created. am i just misremembering that i could do this?
it's not a big deal, i'm just trying to fill in the gaps.
