USB-Stick? Please help
 

Hi,

I want to use a usb-memory-stick with Debian sarge kernel 2.6.6-1.
Know anybody where I can find a HOWTO or something else???

Because I didn´t find any documentation..

plug it in. if it´s not automounted, look which device it is (dmesg) and mount it as normal.
or have u a different problem?

I don´t know how to use it.

Do you mean I have to find out the device for the usb-ports
and then to implement the device to /etc/fstab ???

How I can find out out which device it is?

When you plug it in, it'll probably be detected as /dev/sda1 - check with dmesg.

Then you want to mount it as a filesystem. USB sticks are FAT-formatted when you buy them, so create a mount point (I use /mnt/usb) and mount /dev/sda1 (or whatever) to that mount point.

after plugging in, dmesg should show a new device attached e.g.
now u can mount the stick or make an entry in /etc/fstab.

Then, its:

mkdir /mnt/usb (if it doesn't exist)
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

(I think. Works in Gentoo LiveCD)

Ok,

thanks a lot.. I will try and then give you a feedback...

Hi,
