Ieee1394

[Samuel Maftoul <maftoul@esrf.fr>]

I have an AFW-4300 card, Lacie pocket hard drive.
I compiled a fresh 2.4.16 (which works perfect :-) ).
I installed the latest modutils version I found at kernel.org (rpm -Uvh
--force --nodeps (nodeps because it won't install because of a tiny kde
app called ksysguard and I don't need it.)
I have also the hotplug package installed and he ieee1394.agent file.

First, I want to report a crash:

I hope here is enough, and if you need more, I can send a lot more.
It happened while plugging Hard drives (I plugged 1, the second, and at
the third one, it crashed).
ieee1394 , ohci1394 and sbp2 modules were loaded.
I have the "Excessive debugging output" option enabled.

The second problem I have is:
I don't really understand what for is the hotplug ? can It automatically
mount any new firewire disk I plugged ? How should I do it?
Does someone have a sample script which does  something like:
fdisk -l /dev/$justplugged | awk ... | grep ... ; for i in
$mountabledevices ; do mkdir /mnt/$cnt ; mount ... ; done 
( I hope you got what I'm searching for.)

        Thanks for any help.
