Mount SCSI devices - relationship between mountlist, devs, etc?
« on: November 11, 2008, 02:01:10 AM »
Hi,

I'm trying to set up SCSI devices (an external HDD and SCSI CD-ROM) on my DKB Cobra/Ferret SCSI card.

After a few issues with termination of drives, I can now get the devices recognised by the DKB SCSI Toolbox utility (to allow the partitioning of disks, etc).

However, I'm a bit at a loss of what I need to do to have SCSI device mounted at startup.

I suspect I need to set up a CD filesystem for the CD-ROM drive and also tinker with mountlists, but I'm a bit vague on the relationship between physical devices, device drivers and mountlists.

Is anyone could point me to a FAQ or something that explains everything, that would be great!

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi,

Okay, I've set up my CD0: device as follows (using the CDVDFS filesystem from Aminet):

/* CDVDFS filesystem V1.4 */

 Handler        = SYS:L/cdrom-handler
 Stacksize      = 10000
 Priority       = 5
 GlobVec        = -1
 Mount          = 1
 ForceLoad      = 1
 Device         = dkbscsi.device
 Unit           = 5
 LowCyl         = 0
 HighCyl        = 0
 Surfaces       = 1
 BlocksPerTrack = 1
 Buffers        = 5
 BufMemType     = 4
 DosType        = 0x43444653
 Control        = "ROCKRIDGE JOLIET MAYBELOWERCASE"

However when I try and access the CD0: device I get an error: "Object is not of required type"

I can see the drive in SCSI toolbox and access it to run media checks and such, but it isn't visible from Workbench.

The drive is a SCSI Ricoh MP7060S CD writer/reader.

Any ideas of what I can try next?

Cheers,

Mike.
