Hello list, I have a usb external storage device within IBM 2.5" 6GB IDE. I'd like my linux 2.4.13 to recognize it. So I compile kernel with USB support as well as:
1. Preliminary USB device filesystem 2. UHCI support 3. USB Mass Storage support 4. USB Human Interface Device support I've read the usb guide from http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/book1.html then I mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb debian:/proc/bus/usb# mroe devices bash: mroe: command not found debian:/proc/bus/usb# more devices T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 S: Product=USB UHCI Root Hub S: SerialNumber=d000 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

Then I check /proc/scsi debian:/proc/scsi# ls ide-scsi scsi usb-storage-0 debian:/proc/scsi# cat usb-storage-0/1 Host scsi1: usb-storage Vendor: Unknown Product: USB TO IDE Serial Number: None Protocol: Transparent SCSI Transport: Bulk GUID: 05e307000000000000000000 Attached: Yes Well, all seems fine! But how can I fdisk the usb storage device and repartition it? It doesn't mapping to /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc Idea? Thanks.
