Hello!
I have been searching the web all evening but I have not been able to find any answer to my problem.
I have a usb disk, which after I used it for the first time stopped working when I wanted to remount it after unmounting and unplugging it.
I tried, but the response was
[root@localhost kristaga]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/ mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
From some messages here I saw the suggestion to run modprobe -r ehci-hcd
Then [root@localhost kristaga]# /sbin/modprobe -r ehci-hcd [root@localhost kristaga]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/ [root@localhost kristaga]#
It worked. But (seen from konqueror) now it is present in both
/mnt/usb/ and /media/usbdisk/ (the last is not working, of course, the same disk will probably not be mounted two different places).
My questions:
1. Why do I have to run modprobe -r ehci-hcd to be able to mount the usb disk?
2. Why does the disk suddenly appear two places?
