[tlug] sg3_utils [was usb storage possible from phone]

[Shawn <javajunkie@example.com>]

after creating an unusual_devs.h entry in order to mount mini-sd card in 
my keitai (mobile), all my mounts including cdrom were gone.

anyway, I never knew about sg3_utils until now.  makes life easy...

  su -c "sg_scan -i"
Password:
/dev/sg0: scsi0 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em]
     OEI-USB   MMC/SD             1.3 [rmb=1 cmdq=0 pqual=0 pdev=0x0]
/dev/sg1: scsi1 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em]
     GENERIC   SmartMedia R/W    1.00 [rmb=1 cmdq=0 pqual=0 pdev=0x0]
/dev/sg2: scsi2 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em]
     SONY      CD-RW  CRX140E    1.0n [rmb=1 cmdq=0 pqual=0 pdev=0x5]

su -c "sg_map"
Password:
/dev/sg0  /dev/sda
/dev/sg1  /dev/sdb
/dev/sg2  /dev/scd0

mount /dev/sda1

...and now the card reader that I ended up getting works nicely (haven't 
given up on the unusual_devs.h entry but it will by trial and error to 
pass in flags to try and get it recognized which I will do when I have the 
time but...)
