Description Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk 2004-09-29 16:21:49 UTC
Description of problem:
I (and i know many others as well - they are quite common) have a
multiple-card USB card reader, which i beleive is a multi-LUN device.
Only problem is that its not on the whitelist, according to Jef Spaleta.

Here is the output of lsusb -v he said you needed:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.8-1.541

How reproducible:
Every time. Only first device (CF slot) accessable

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in one of those card-readers
2. Only first slot accessable
3.
  
Actual results:
Only CF slot accessable

Expected results:
All slots should be mountable

please include the scsi messages from 'dmesg'

Additional Comment #5 From Dave Jones on 2004-12-08 23:59 -------

fixed in cvs, will be in next build.

although it's not clear what he is going to fix. 

1)  Neither device is on the whitelist, BUT, each device will work
with the "first" card slot.

2)  The cards are:
# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0aec:3260 Neodio Technologies Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
and
# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0483:1307 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Cytronix
6in1 card reader
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

3)  As a work-around, I re-compiled the kernel (2.6.9-1.681_FC3) and
checked the box to "probe all LUNS", even though xconfig in that area
has a note that this can be left unchecked and over-ridden by parms in
grub and/or modprobe.conf.  THIS WORKS!  Fortunately, none of my other
SCSI devices gets broken by it. 

So, IMHO, what's broken is the "over-ride" mechanism, or the
documentation (over-ride isn't intended to work if device not on
whitelist?).

Comment 8 Dave Jones 2004-12-22 20:30:21 UTC
the max_luns module parameter works fine for me with multiple
different card readers.  Can you paste the output of dmesg which looks
something like this..

scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
  Vendor: GENERIC   Model: Card Reader   CF  Rev: v26F
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Could be your card is slightly different, and needs whitelisting too.
(Still doesnt explain why max_luns doesnt work for you though).


Comment 9 chris roddy 2005-01-15 01:38:42 UTC
i've got another Neodio Technologies Corp. multi-card reader.
slightly different device, same problem.

i set "options scsi_mod max_luns=8" and everything works as expected.
i'd be delirious with joy if this could be patched.
