Description Patrizio Bassi 2007-01-21 23:53:26 UTC
please add support for Sony DSC-S600

after plugging my Sony DSC-S600 photocamera i have:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 054c:0010 Sony Corp. DSC-S30/S70/S75/F505V/F505/FD92
Cybershot/Mavica Digital Camera 

i think S600 should be added to the list. minor issue, just cosmetic

Apart the name the other issue seems the "eject" command is not working.


using usb-storage module:

eject /dev/sdc
eject /dev/sdc1

even if i repeat several times the sdc1 device doesn't desappear as for other
usb devices such as an usb pen or ipod.

i have to manually turn off the camera.
on windows (!!) i can shutdown the usb link
Comment 1 Natalie Protasevich 2007-06-13 19:34:44 UTC
Could you please provide some information such as: compile kernel with DEBUG_USB and increase the logging level with "dmesg -n 7", then you can get /var/log/messages with debug information. And please provide more information on your system, such as dmidecode output.
Thanks.
Comment 2 Patrizio Bassi 2007-08-26 04:18:53 UTC
tried with 2.6.22.1 and .5 (last one has usb debug enabled) still there.

Comment 7 Patrizio Bassi 2007-09-30 07:51:13 UTC
is the debug info enough? no feedback and no fix in kernel :(
Comment 8 Matthew Dharm 2007-10-10 10:58:33 UTC
It is difficult to interpret your logs without knowing what you did (exact steps) to produce them.

However, given a quick examination, I do not see any usb-storage error here.  You might try turning off USB Autosuspend, as that has been known to cause problems for many USB devices.
Comment 9 Patrizio Bassi 2007-10-10 11:17:22 UTC
i plug the camera than issue

eject /dev/sdc
eject /dev/sdc1

this happens only with this camera not with other usb disks
Comment 10 Matthew Dharm 2007-10-10 11:23:32 UTC
So?  I see nothing wrong.  You issue the eject commands, and I see no errors.  The /dev/sdc should not disappear unless the camera chooses to disconnect from the USB bus, which would be unusual.
Comment 11 Patrizio Bassi 2007-10-10 11:32:08 UTC
not it normal what i see from dmesg

i see the continous scsi rescan, looking for partitions...

the sdc1 should desappear
Comment 12 Matthew Dharm 2007-10-10 11:44:12 UTC
No, sdc1 should not necessarily disappear.  That behavior is implementation-dependent on the device, not on Linux.

As for the rescan, that is probably HALD or somesuch noticing a media-change pending on the 'ejected' camera, and thus normal.

This is not a bug.  I'm closing this issue.
Comment 13 Patrizio Bassi 2007-10-10 11:54:13 UTC
no

this is an issue. i don't have hald nor any other daemon, only udev.

no other devices behave like this, only this camera. This is definetively an issue.
Comment 14 Matthew Dharm 2007-10-10 12:00:20 UTC
No, it's not an issue.  The vast majority of devices do not disappear when you issue and eject.

Imagine a device with actuall removeable media (CF, Zip, CD-ROM, etc. etc.) -- it would make no sense for these devices to disappear when "ejected".
Comment 15 Patrizio Bassi 2007-10-10 12:15:55 UTC
again...for me the device not desappearing is not the issue.

the issue is that after the eject command there is a rescan of the device.
this doesn't happen with other devices. why?

i show what i mean...i did 4 times eject /dec/sdc...i got:

usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

this is not normal
Comment 16 Matthew Dharm 2007-10-10 12:21:52 UTC
This is unusual, but not unheard of.

The 'eject' command actually issues several commands to the device in the eject sequence.  If one of them returns with a "Unit attention: Not ready to ready transition" or similar error code, then it will trigger a "revalidation", which will cause the rescan.

It's completely harmless, and not fixable.  The device is almost certainly sending a ASC/ASCQ which requires revalidation.  It probably shouldn't do that, but it does.  There is no fix for this, as we cannot ignore such needs to perform revalidation.
