Devices aren't mounting; USB flash, ipod, diskette, etc.
I'm working under (X)Ubuntu 6.06.1, (So 2.6.15 kernel I think) and I can't mount USB devices or diskettes anymore.
I think it's because at one point I removed my walkman without "unmount"ing and "eject"ing it from the XFCE desktop. Is there a way to set it back to normal so my devices will work? Is there a command to mount devices, so I could give you all the output? CDs will mount, by the way. I'm not sure about DVDs; a movie I borrowed from a friend didn't, but this is a DVD drive according to Dell. I'm hoping flat-data ones will mount. Help? ;-; |
The command to mount devices is..."mount". Running the mount command from the console should give you some idea of what the problem is. Something like "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb".
Removing a device without unmounting it is only bad for the filesystem on that particular device, it should have no effect on your system, or at least none that would survive a reboot (I have seen machines become temporarily unstable when they are unstable to cleanly unmount a device). |
