These messages are ok.  They mean you unplugged your USB device.

See the model DK23DA-20 and vendor HITACHI?  You may need to add an entry to
/etc/ubdfstab.conf.default to prepare the mounting of the usb device.  Your
Sony DSC-S70 will have a description of its own that you can use to make an
entry.

Same issue.


Also, once you are have troubleshooted your issue, always manually unmount
your device before unplugging it, especially if you are performing write
operations to it.

USB Devices not working

[Khürt Williams]

Thanks for the info.  I got the camera working.  The camera entries were 
already in the /etc/updfstab.conf.default.   mount /dev/sda1 
/mnt/camera/ did the trick.
I am still working on the Hitachi drive.

USB Devices not working

On or about 2004-01-31 21:26, Khürt Williams whipped out a trusty #2

How very important!   If you don't believe that delayed-write is 
working, try mounting a USB fs (one that uses a solid-state memory, like 
Compact Flash or Smart Media),  copying several MB of files from it to a 
hdd, and note how slow it is.   Then delete all the files on the USB 
device, and copy all the files back.  The copy is done almost in an 
instant!  But then, when you unmount it, you can see it take several 
seconds to actually write the files from cache.  So if you yanked it out 
without unmounting it, you wouldn't really have anything.
