Topic: Help required --- Adding a USB HDD to SME 6.0.1-01

[paul_NZ]

Dell Poweredge Server running hardware raid and 3 scsi drives.

Attached a USB HDD ... not recognised, found USB in BIOS in server disabled,  enabled, rebooting server.

Following this How To http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/How%20to%20connect%20a%20USB%20Hard%20Disk%20to%20SME%206.0.1-01

When I run "cdrecord --scanbus" this is the output

I don't see my attached USB HDD.

I know the USB Drive is ok as I can see it/use it when attached to W2000 Pro pc.

What am I missing? and/or am I required to run something like modprobe usb-storage in order to have the drive recognised?

Actually, I've tried modprobe usb-storage and this has not helped, I've also since rebooted server a couple of times.

Any help appreciated ... thanks

I don't know if it works for SME 6, but in SME 7 I access the disk under /media/label, where the label is the name of the USB HD. So if you label the disk using Windows (as long as you use a FAT 32 partition you can use them on both architectures) you might be able to access it.

Thanks Bob ... I did find that posting and I find that this command insmod usb-uhci appears to error but I actually think the problem is that I'm running hardware raid and that SME can't see 'behind' the controllers ... might be wrong.

Any other thoughts or tips.

This is the output from commands run so far

[root@mrc01 etc]# insmod usbcore
Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.7smp/kernel/drivers/usb/usbcore.o
insmod: a module named usbcore already exists
[root@mrc01 etc]# insmod usb-storeage
insmod: usb-storeage: no module by that name found

Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
[root@mrc01 etc]#

but I'm unable to see where to go to from here ... any help appreciated.
