Manually mounting a USB stick in Suse 9.1
 

I know Suse 9.1 has hotplug issues wchich make automounting a USB stick troublesome, but manually mounting one should work. However, it doesn't. I get an error "can't read superblock".

Can I see your /etc/fstab ??????

Maybe the error is there.

Okay solved this...changed "sda1" to "sda" and "users" to "user". Works like a charm now.

Thanks for pointing me to fstab :)

Oh don't thank me because you have solved the problem!!!!

Good luck
