[PLUG] firewire external enclosure

[Zot O'Connor]

what does lsmod say?
 You should have somethinglike
sg                     36524   0  (autoclean)
sr_mod                 18136   0  (autoclean)
ide-scsi               12208   2 
scsi_mod              107544   5  [sbp2 sd_mod sg sr_mod ide-scsi]
ide-cd                 35712   0 
cdrom                  33728   0  [sr_mod ide-cd]
ohci1394               20168   0  (unused)
ieee1394               48780   0  [sbp2 ohci1394]


Is perhaps the usb2 driver locking the sdX device (i.e. reload the
modules or reboot).

You should see something like this is /var/log/messages
