<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">All,<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I have the curious case where the haldaemon is not properly mounting a usb drive.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Here is the situation. We found this by testing in our lab and the mount always worked correctly.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>We then moved the server and usb drive out onto the operations floor and lo and behold it did not work properly. After much head scratching and poring over my testing procedures I identified the following issue:</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>If I am connected from a workstation to the server where I am trying to automatically mount the usb drive over a KVM network - the usb drive is mounted properly. But, if I telnet or ssh into the server where I am trying to automatically mount the usb drive (i.e., not using the KVM network) the usb drive is mounted as a directory on the main disk and with incorrect permissions. In otherwords, in this case the usb drive is not mounted correctly.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>The only thing I could see is that from the workstation on the KVM network I get the little usb drive icon displayed. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I need the usb drive to be properly mounted no matter what host or what network I use to get to the server where the usb drive is connected. The cable from the usb drive is pulled to be connected to another host, data is moved onto the usb drive, and then the cable is moved to my server. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>To recap: If I am sitting on the KVM network everything is jake, in all other cases it isn't. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Any help would be appreciated.</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>Jonathan Stowers</DIV><DIV><A href="mailto:elizabethstowers@mac.com">elizabethstowers@mac.com</A></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
