Hi !
I use the usb bus. Mostly it is for a mouse and today, I have installed a
scanner. I've read the documentation (yes!) in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/usb/scanner.txt
There is a mention about the usbdevfs and an advice to add a line in
/etc/fstab.
I have added the line "none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0", I expected to
have access to /proc/bus/usb/devices without any extra manipulation.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hdc1 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm shm defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
At boot time, I get the messages :
Mounting local file systems...
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module shm
mount: fs type shm not supported by kernel
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module usbdevfs
mount: fs type usbdevfs not supported by kernel
Running dns-clean.
It is ok fr shm : I have the same fstab for both 2.2.19pre and 2.4.0-test and I
boot 2.2.19pre... And the I've nothing in /proc/bus/usb
If I enter the command 'by hand' :
mount -t usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
The system accepts the command and I can do a cat /proc/bus/usb/devices :
[root@debian-f5ibh] ~ # mount -t usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb

Do I missed something in my usb configuration or in my modules managements ?
Remark : The problem. is the same with 2.4.0-test13
