Hrm... do you have /dev/scsi/[...]?
Then try this:

mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt

Hi,
had the same problem.
Rebootet the router 3-4 times but still no chance.
Left the stick plugt in while I went sleeping. The next day it worked without a problem.
By the way, I have a WL-500g Delux, not a Premium, but maybe the problem has the same root.
with best regards

Hi!

You must install at least these packages:

kmod-nls-base
kmod-nls-cp437

Additionally these might be needed according to the filenames' charset.

kmod-nls-cp850
kmod-nls-iso8859-1
kmod-nls-iso8859-15
kmod-nls-utf8

To enable automount, you will need do add some scripts which are already included on kamikaze development branch (trunk)

/sbin/usb-storage

#!/bin/sh
# Copyright (C) 2006 OpenWrt.org
logger "usb device is mass storage"
i=0                                
while [ $i -le 10 ]; do
        logger "waiting on usb drive $i ..."                         
        i=$(($i+1))
        cd /sys${DEVPATH}
        for blk in `find host* -type d`; do
                cd /sys/${DEVPATH}/${blk}
                BLK=$(find block* -type l 2> /dev/null)
                [ -n "${BLK}" ] && {
                        cd /sys${DEVPATH}/${blk}/${BLK}
                        ls /dev/ > /tmp/d
                        sleep 2
                        for node in `find sd* -type d | grep -v "/"`; do
                                echo "mounting /dev/${node} on /mnt/usbdrive"
                                mkdir -p /mnt/usbdrive
                                mount /dev/${node} /mnt/usbdrive
                                exit 0
                        done
                }
        done
        sleep 1
done

/etc/hotplug.d/usb/10-usb-storage

#!/bin/sh
# Copyright (C) 2006 OpenWrt.org
case "$ACTION" in
        add)
                [ -n "${INTERFACE}" ] &&
                [ "$(expr substr ${INTERFACE} 1 2)" == "8/" ]  && {
                        /sbin/usb-storage &
                }
                ;;
esac

Don't forget to make them executable (chmod +x)

You must edit /etc/hotplug2.rules
Edit the line:
SUBSYSTEM ~~ (net|button){
to:
SUBSYSTEM ~~ (net|button|usb){

I hope it works for you

raver,

Thanks for the help. kmod-nls-base was already installed and I successfully added kmod-nls-cp437 but I get this error when trying to add the other packages you listed:

root@Kamikazi:~# ipkg install kmod-nls-cp850

Failed to download kmod-nls-cp850. Perhaps you need to run 'ipkg update'?

fdisk -l still gives the same info as in the previous post and the mount commands still fail.

Hi Rob

I think those additional packages are only needed if filenames have special characters. Essential packages are kmod-nls-base and kmod-nls-cp437.

Did you try "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt" and checked loaded modules (lsmod)?

I hope it helps

Success!

raver,

Thanks for the help. As you mentioned, I needed to install kmod-nls-cp437--that's what was causing the mount command to fail. Following your direction, this mount command was successful:

root@Kamikazi:/mnt# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
root@Kamikazi:/mnt#

root@Kamikazi:/mnt# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on /rom type squashfs (ro)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
/dev/mtdblock3 on /jffs type jffs2 (rw)
/jffs on / type mini_fo (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/usb type vfat (rw,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1)

You're the man. Thanks again for the help. Now I'm off to set up the auto mount.

Rob

raver,

I owe you big time. I just got the automount script installed and running by following your excellent instructions.

A note to webif2 users: The "Status/USB" page shows the USB memory stick in the "Connected" section, but the "Mounted USB / SCSI devices" section is empty, but the drive is listed on the "Status/System/Mount Usage" page. When I ssh in and list the /mnt/usbdrive directory the contents of the memory stick are shown.

Thanks again raver,

Rob

I had the same problem and this also solved it. I just would like to underline that having the right charset is important. I couldn't mount my USB until I installed the kmod-nls-iso8859-1 package.
