Have you used a usb pen drive or usb-hdd? I can use usb pen drive, but not usb-hdd or usb-dvdrom. When I attach them I can't see new devices on /dev so I can't mount them.
Do you know how to install them?
My configuration is Prmeium HD, DS3.0.3 RTi 1.0.3

Thanks

Your usb devices should be: sda sda1 sda2 ...

in my case I have mounted an usb stick using

mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb

or I have mounted an usb stick and a 1TB usb HD using:
mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/cf

I have used cf just for testing.

On DS you have also the device manger, have a look at it.

Thanks for your reply. But I think the problem is some kernel modules are missing.
When I connect my USB HDD I don't get any messages from the kernel in dmesg output. A similar problem there's also if I connect a USB DVD. In this case I get these messages from kernel:


usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 3
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GP08NU6B 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
scsi 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 5
usb-storage: device scan complete

and a new /dev/sg0 appears; but I know this device is a "scsi genberic" and I can't mount too. When I try I always get errors.

If is there someone that has some more info for mounting external USB devices will be really appreciate.

Thanks a lot.

Sleeping on it take me a solution for hdd, not for CD/DVD.

It's a power supply issue. Now I connected the 2.5 USB HDD with a double cable getting more power from bus and I can see the device /dev/sda & /dev/sda1 and correctly mounted on.

Same solution doesn't work for CD/DVD, I continue getting messages from kernel and a new /dev/sg0 added but I can't mount it.

I've inserted a DVD and tryed to mount the peripheral on /media/usb with this command but I always get an error:


root@AZBox:/# mount -t auto /dev/sg0 /media/usb
mount: mounting /dev/sg0 on /media/usb failed: Block device required

Same error if I change with -t iso9660

I'll continue my studies.

My goal is watch DVD videos via Azbox. Is it a miracle or a normal procedure?
