[9fans] USB HDD connection problem

[9fans] USB HDD connection problem

[Bela Valek]

Hi,

I have a problem with connecting USB HDD. When i plug it in, i get
this error message: /boot/usbd: /dev/usb/ep5.0: port 8: opendev: can't
open endpoint /dev/usb/ep7.0: '/dev/usb' file does not exist
I get this after several other tries too, only the ep-number and the
port are varied.

- usb/disk gives this:
usb/disk: /dev/usb: no devs

- usbfat: writes:
mount: can't open /srv/usb: '/srv/usb' file does not exist
cannot mount /srv/usb

The USB mouse works.

Greetings: Béla

I tried a recent distribution image (Aug15). The live CD worked with
my external harddrive, after plugging it in i issued 'usbfat:', and i
was able to read and write files on it. When I installed it, 'usbfat:'
said that there are no usb disks. usbd was running (5 threads), I will
try ls '#u' when i have access to the machine.

there has been an update on usb software recently.
the old kernel driver was called #U, the new one is #u.
Tools like usb/usbd and usb/disk changed as well.

Do you still have the problem?
I'm just reading the mail thread and don't understand why
/srv/usb is not there. It should.

can you ls '#u' ?
Do you have usbd running?

Sorry, just came and I might be missing some eairlier mail.
I'm still reading them all.

hmm.  if the usb mouse works, yet plan 9 is not running
usb/usbd (have you checked), it may be that your bios has
put your usb in legacy mode and either won't or hasn't been
asked to let go.

if you are running usbd and usb/kb, then this could happen
if you are mixing #U and tools for #U (the old usb device)
and #u and tools for #u.

your man page problem sounds like you've damaged your local fs.
consider a pull to update.

There is more:

I don't have a usbdisk manpage. '%man usbdisk' complains that its not
there, but if i do a '%lookman usbdisk', the manpage is listed as a
hit, so it must be in the search index.

My 'usb/disk' command doesn't have -f and -l parameters at all. I
downloaded the installation ISO file on the 4th of june. Do you know
something about it?

Both 'usb/usbd' and '/boot/usbd' complain about the same (busy
devices), and the rest of the commands simply doesnt find anything in
'/dev'. So, I cannot try the example in the (nonexistent) usbdisk
manpage, not to mention the nonexistent -f and -l parameters...

Can you help me?

Forgot to mention, I tried to start /boot/usbd manually, i got error
messages, it said that the epX.Y and port numbers are busy or
something (i dont have the exact error message here, sorry).
