Description Flags
accept new return of ioctl(SCSI_IOCTL_PROBE_HOST) introduced with kernel 2.6.35 none

Description Dennis Czeremin 2010-11-16 07:45:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
makebootfat does not find usb sticks any longer with option -o usb
(It works on before with F12 on the same hardware)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
makebootfat-1.4-10.fc14.x86_64
Kernel: 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:
makebootfat -o usb -Z -Y -v -L MYLABLE -2 ldlinux.bss -m mbrfat.bin -F -c ldlinux.sys image


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert one usb stick
2. call cmd as root
  
Actual results:
"Please insert one usb disk."

Expected results:
A clean formatted USB Device

Additional info:
Workaround: Give the correct device directly
makebootfat -o/dev/sdc -Z -Y -v -L MYLABEL -2 ldlinux.bss -m mbrfat.bin -F -c ldlinux.sys image
works!

Reasons for the bug:
The result of ioctl(h, SCSI_IOCTL_PROBE_HOST, hostname) is not longer:
"SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices". Its now "usb-storage 2-5:1.0"
Comment 1 Dmitry Butskoy 2010-11-16 14:45:36 UTC 
Perhaps it is better to specify the exact path (/dev/sdX) -- at least for cases when the system have two or more usb flashes inserted...

Could you provide a patch?

The new behavior was introduced here:

Created attachment 460935 [details]
accept new return of ioctl(SCSI_IOCTL_PROBE_HOST)  introduced with kernel 2.6.35

I am sure there are better ways to fix this problem, but this patch works for me
