Hello Sean,

I can't find my notes anywhere. Off the top of my head, you need to=20
get the tool called dmdiag.exe. IIRC, you get this from Microsoft but=20=
google to be sure. Install it and run it. Then insert your USB stick=20=
and run it again.
Here's an example when I use my USB stick. Here's a very abbreviated=20
portions of dmdiag.exe output before:
---------- Drive letter to device name, QueryDosDevice() ----------
D: \Device\CdRom0
A: \Device\Floppy0
C: \Device\HarddiskVolume1
Here's a very abbreviated portions of dmdiag.exe output after:
---------- Drive letter to device name, QueryDosDevice() ----------
D: \Device\CdRom0
E: \Device\Harddisk1\DP(1)0-0+3
A: \Device\Floppy0
C: \Device\HarddiskVolume1
=00
Notice the new device E:\. That's my USB stick. I then add this line=20=
to my defaults.colinux.xml:
=00 <block_device index=3D"2" path=3D"\Device\Harddisk1\DP(1)0-0+3"=20=
enabled=3D"true" />=00
The index number will change depending on how many devices you already=20=
have defined and will be accessible within colinux as /dev/cobd2 (as=20
in _co_linux _b_lock _d_evice 2. After I start colinux, I can mount=20
the usb stick like so:
# mkdir /mnt/usb
# mount /dev/cobd2 /mnt/usb
UMSDOS 0.86k (compatibility level 0.4, fast msdos)
# dir /mnt/usb/
total 2620
drwxr--r-- 3 root root 16896 Jan 1 1970 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 May 18 00:32 ..=00
...
# umount /mnt/usb
This is a simple way for Windows to communicate with coLinux. However,=20=
only one system can be accessing the device at a time. So, you will=20
need to unmount before Windows can see it and all Windows or files that=20=
are accessing the device must be closed on the Windows side before you=20=
can mount it again.
Hope this helps. The above is tested on a Win2K machine running=20
coLinux 20040509 with the Debian image. If you get USB to work for=20
you, I'd like to encourage you to write up your experiences and post=20
them on the wiki, especially if you are using a different host OS,=20
snapshot, or image.
Regards,
- Robert

Chances are your USB stick has a fat32 and not a DOS filesystem. If=20 so, you probably want to specify the filesystem type: # mount -t vfat /dev/cobd2 /mnt/usb Regards, - Robert |

Robert, I finally had a chance to look at this again. The line you added to your xml file seems to be missing the beginning. dmdiage.exe reported my usb device as K:\Device\HardDisk1\DP(1)0-0+3 I added: <block_device index="2" enabled="true" /> I then started coLinux and did the following: mkdir /mnt/usb mount -t vfat /dev/cobd2 /mnt/usb I got the following error: mount: /dev/cobd2: Can't read Superblock Its formatted Fat32. Any thoughts? Thanks, Sean Robert Citek wrote: > > Hello Sean, > > On Monday, May 17, 2004, at 19:00 US/Central, Sean Covel wrote: > >> I'd appreciate any information you have.

A quick browse through the wiki: http://colinux.org/wiki/index.php/FullTextSearch?s=instance showed this item: http://colinux.org/wiki/index.php/NextRelease which mentioned that future versions of colinux will support multiple instances, but no instructions on how. Do you know of a URL for instructions? Regards, - Robert |

Ok, I added the path. I tried a few different variations from the dmdiag.exe output. No joy. Which of the various ways of referring to the USB Stick should I be using? BTW, it looks to me like the stick has 2 paritions on it. Very odd. Sean tei wrote: > Sean Covel wrote: > >> Robert, >> >> I finally had a chance to look at this again.

Works just fine. I reformatted it just in case, and it still doesn't work. tei wrote: > Sean Covel wrote: > >> Ok, >> >> I added the path.
