[vox-tech] Firewire port stopped working...

[Dylan Beaudette]

After a recent aptitude upgrade (debian unstable) -- disks connected via 
firewire no longer mount, refusing with an error which made me think that my 
disk had died. Here is the output from dmesg after connecting the drive:

... this disk / enclosure used to work over the firewire port, but now when 
trying to mount the partition returns the following:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

... however if it connect this same disk / enclosure via USB it works fine.

any ideas?

cheers,

Dylan
