Message I recieved from a work colleage.... Wonder if anyone can help the guy? --------FORWARDED MESSAGE---------------------- I finally ditched my freebsd and put centos on my box. Trouble is I can''t figure out how to get it to automount my USB and firewire (ipod) bits. Any ideas? Googling has left me a bit frustrated. No one seems to be able to do it. I have a /etc/fstab that

I am being given a digital camcorder. It uses Mini DV tapes and either connects via typical RCA cables (IE to a tv) or via FireWire. I don't have the brand on hand, but I was told it can be ripped to DV like any standard FireWire camcorder (I believe dvgrab will be sufficient). I just installed an older FireWire card I have that I used at one point in Fedora for my iPod. It was a PITA

Hi..... I just bought a External HD with USB/FireWire interfaces. I was trying to connect it by firewire and nothing happened, but it's connected by USB, there is no problem. This is the "fdisk - l" output when i connect it by USB Disco /dev/sdc: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 cabezas, 63 sectores/pista, 19457 cilindros Unidades = cilindros de 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

A bit more info about my system; I edited /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-firewire and commented out the blacklist like so it looks like so; #blacklist firewire-ohci Running lspci returns; 10:0b.0 Firewire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB82AA2 IEEE-1394b Link Layer Controller (rev 02) lsmod | grep firewire returns; firewire_sbp2 50897 0 firewire_core 79305 1 firewire_sbp2 scsi_mod

I got a WD 1TB My Book with eSATA/USB/Firewire400 connectivity to backup data on a client Centos 5.1 machine. USB 2.0 works fine out of the box but is rather slow, Nautilus predicts about 1+ hour to fully backup just one day's worth of data or about 100GB. So I was hoping Firewire would be faster, which is why we got the version with all 3 interfaces to experiment with first. Following the

Hi all! I'm trying to use my first-ever firewire device, and just OOB I'm not getting very far, so advice would be appreciated. When I plug in the device I see some entries in /var/log/messages: Jul 27 14:50:30 fcshome kernel: firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 Jul 27 14:50:31 fcshome kernel: firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 0003f300118123f9, S100

Hi folks: Firewire was not supported in 4.0 due to the upstream provider not including it. Is it in 4.1? Or is it still out of the mainline upstream kernel provider? What about centosplus? Centosplus has been listed as unsupported. I presume this means that they are/were one-off builds with missing functionality (e.g. xfs, etc), and are not updated. Is this the case? I am looking

Hello, Having a problem getting Centos to see my firewire connected camcorder. Here what I have thus far; Installed the kernek fron centos-plus and checked that libraw1394.x86_64 and libraw1394_8.x86_64 are installed Kernel i'm running is 2.6.9-34.106.unsupported here are some outputs from my machine; ~ $ lspci | grep -i firewire 00:07.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc.

Hi! After switching from UMS (dated 20090701+c0bf670) to KMS (as of 2010-02-01), almost any X activity causes buffer underruns on my firewire soundcard. When the X pointer changes from arrow to the vertical text selection bar, firewire streaming is interrupted. Same with scrolling in firefox or hovering over a link, thus changing the pointer to "hand". Looks like nouveau is disabling

We have some LaCie 1 TB external disks which work fine on other Linux servers (running Red Hat 9, and Ubuntu 7.04), but which fail to be seen on our CentOS 4.3 system with kernel 2.6.9-34.107.plus.c4smp The interface card is a Sunix 64 bit Firewire 800 ieee1394b adapter plugged into a PCI slot in our Linux server, which is a Tyan Thunder K8SD Pro S2882-D, 64 bit AMD Opteron

I read in another forum that CentOS has problems with Firewire drives, something along the lines of whenever a new kernel is booted, the drives are gone. Can anyone elaborate on that? I don't use Firewire drives (at all, yet), but information about this would be nice to have.... Thanks. mhr

Hi Does anybody know whether wine works with USB ports or not ? The reason I ask is that I'm trying to get the application TDK CD/DVD Printer Labeller Software running, the software appears to work except for the fact it complains that "The printer is turned off or not connected to the computer". http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=3751 Is there some other layer of

I just recently downloaded and installed the CentOS 3.3 release, and I'm having a bit of a problem... It appears that no support for firewire drives has been included. I am unable to find the ohci1394 or sbp2 modules anywhere. Are there other packages which must be installed from the distribution to get firewire devices to be recognized? Thanks. --Steve

Hello, looking into the issue described in the advisory below I wonder how to tackle this issues. Primarily I ask myself * is there any reason not to filter all physical memory access by default * what would be the appropriate way to change the filter set? a sysctl? Regards Maximillian Dornseif FireWire/IEEE 1394 direct memory access - CAN-2004-1038 Advisory URL:

Assuming I have a firewire card with a supported chipset, is there anything special I need to do in order for the kernel to recognize the card? Shouldn't kudzu "wake up" and configure the card when I boot up after installing it? This is a brand spanking new 4.4 system and a supported Agere chipset firewire card. I'm having trouble tickling devices connected to the card.

Hello All, I need to add a few Firewire 800 ports to the box I have running CentOS 6.4. I have an available PCI-E slot. Does anyone know of a Firewire 800 PCI-E card that is compatible with CentOS 6.4 out of the box? Jason

I (work :) bought a USB2.0/Firewire enclosure and I had a little trouble with it until I came across this page http://people.freebsd.org/~maho/USB/comment/ku350a.txt after trying the sysctl things work well. I haven't tried the USB2.0 side of it, as I don't have any USB2.0 controllers. The Firewire bit works great too (quite a bit faster than USB1 :) The enclosure in question is made

Hi all, CentOS noob trying v5 for the first time -- What's the best way to get firewire modules onboard? Build a custom kernel? I'm not seeing any cent5 compatible module-rpms for this. Any general pointing in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm currently looking at how to deal with the lack of usable MACs in Infiniba(n)d and Firewire. Instead of presenting the MAC address when querying for the config file, these guys need either the Client Identifier, or the PC UUID. The Client Identifier is a fairly opaque object which tends to include various fixed portions; the PC UUID is far to often not at all or incorrectly programmed.

When I play video-a1v7x352y240.ogg, some of the artifacts I noticed in the firewire captured video.dv are no longer there. The *.dv video is sharper, but the *.ogg video, at 1/16th the size,
