By the way, one more detail. It seems that all DiskOnKey devices can be mounted as /dev/sda4 (i.e., partition 4). My two devices work like this, and a search for "diskonkey linux sda4" on Google returns some pages on people using sda4. One of the pages above ("Unofficial DiskOnKey Mini-HOWTO", available only on the Google cache) explains that it is for legacy Apple Macintosh compatibility. I hope this additional information helps somehow. As of 0.99.96, it uses partition 0 by default for diskOnKey. Man page is also cleaned up. Wait! The I/O Data "Easy Disk" (DiskonKey OEM) devices are "partition 0", but I'm not sure that this applies to *all* DiskonKey devices, especially the ones sold in the U.S.. Until Kudzu can find in a safe way the correct partition, please choose the option that will work with the highest number of devices (which might be "partition 4" or "partition 1", the only way to be sure is to contact the manufacturer). (Sorry for not making the above more explicit in the bug report, and also sorry for the dealy in replying). The last comment is right! The new default actually broke our DiskOnKey's. I had to edit the /etc/updfstab.conf.default file and change partition to 1 for our diskonkeys to work again. Only 1 works with ours (M-Systems 64 Mb DiskOnKey, Hawking Technology model MD128U, ). I tried partition 4, but no dice... *** Bug 119897 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 126018 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** In Fedora Core 3 and later, handling of mounting of devices is done via the 'hal' component. As such, changes to updfstab are very unlikely to be made in the future (in fact, it is no longer shipped in the kudzu tarball.) |
