Firewire how to?

[timread]

Hi,

I am trying to edit video under Knoppix (why not, it works perfectly for editing sound [Audacity is really great], photos, etc...). When I connect my Sony camcorder to my computer (a sony vaio) via firewire, I get the following when I run dmesg:

ieee1394: Node added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[08004601021bc70c]
ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023
raw1394: /dev/raw1394 device initialized
scsi singledevice 0 0 1 0
scsi singledevice 0 0 2 0
scsi singledevice 0 0 3 0
scsi singledevice 0 0 4 0
scsi singledevice 0 0 5 0
scsi singledevice 0 0 6 0
scsi singledevice 0 0 7 0
scsi singledevice 1 0 1 0
scsi singledevice 1 0 2 0
scsi singledevice 1 0 3 0
scsi singledevice 1 0 4 0
scsi singledevice 1 0 5 0
scsi singledevice 1 0 6 0
scsi singledevice 1 0 7 0

Everything looks cool, but how do I mount it?

I tried to make a directory in mnt called ieee1394 and mount the raw device:

mount /dev/raw1394 ieee1394
mount: /dev/raw1394 no es un dispositivo de bloques

Which hopefully is understandable as being spanish for "not a recognised block device".

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Tim

By looking at the dmesg it seems that the camcorder's data could be recognised as a storage device undergoing scsi emulation (as most externel storage devices do). Thi means it can be accessed via a scsi device (sdx?) where x=a,b,c... and ?=1,2,3...

Maybe you could try [ mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/ieee1394 ] or something similar.
