Mounting an external firewire hard drive: how?


I have a Lacie Firewire hard drive i am trying to get my system to recognize.

I spent some time getting my system to mount my second internal hard drive. But no clue how to get this one to work.

I am currently running:
Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
Linux 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem. Fully updated Fedora Core 1, stock kernel, all scsi/sbp2/1394 modules available. Can't get the drive recognized.

[root@firefox: ~]$ uname -a
Linux firefox.malibyte.net 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl #1 Wed Aug 4 12:25:07 EDT 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

From /var/log/messages:
Jan 27 15:59:06 firefox kernel: ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device
Jan 27 15:59:06 firefox kernel: ieee1394: sbp2: Node 0-00:1023: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [2048]
Jan 27 15:59:06 firefox ieee1394.agent[23765]: missing kernel or user mode driver sbp2

The sbp2 module IS loaded:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
<snip>
sbp2 20076 0 (unused)
sg 34796 0 (autoclean) (unused)
scsi_mod 109384 1 [sbp2 sg]
ohci1394 28520 0 (unused)
ieee1394 203940 0 [sbp2 ohci1394]
<snip>

This is what I see in /var/log/messages on reboot:
Jan 27 18:36:19 firefox kernel: ohci1394: $Rev: 1010 $ Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
Jan 27 18:36:19 firefox kernel: ohci1394_0: Unexpected PCI resource length of 1000!

Trying rescan-scsi-bus.sh gives:
[root@firefox: ~]$ sh rescan-scsi-bus.sh
Host adapter ? (*) found.
0 new device(s) found.
0 device(s) removed.

Firewire controller is a D-Link; drive is a Maxtor 80GB external 1394 drive.

I'd like to back up my network on this thing and take the drive to work and lock it in a filing cabinet. Any help would be appreciated.

Bob

Did you have any luck sorting this out? I'm stuck in almost exactly the same way as Malibyte. Any tips would be appreciated.
