how to cofigure USB flash drive?
Hi,
Can anyone give pointers or links which explain how to configure portable usb flash drives. I have mandrake 10.1 thanks, Sen |
If you mean getting them to work, that means adding a line to your /etc/fstab:
Code:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb1 vfat user,noauto,rw,sync,noexec 0 0 |
thanks for that but in: /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb1 vfat user,noauto,rw,sync,noexec 0 0 should it be sda1 or ...
|
I have no experience of flash drives in Mandrake, but in Fedora, the drives appear under /dev/sdaN, where N is not constant (for example, right now my USB drive is /dev/sda4). I prefer to use hald to automount them when plugged in (they pop up on the desktop just like in winxp/osx). This daemon takes care of all the hassle with fstab lines. This is default in Fedora, in mandrake you might have to install it yourself.

Anyone any idea why some flash drives work well, while others seem not to be recognised?
fstab line is Code:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbflash vfat noauto,user,owner,uid=1000 [edit] Running Slack current, kernel 2.4.29 |
