Sandisk Cruzer Doesn't Automount

Harpo · 10-11-2009, 02:10 PM

I have an 8GB Sandisk Cruzer USB stick. I am using OpenSuse 11. It won't automount at time of plug-in. If I run Yast Hardware Information, it shows up as my F

rive /dev/sdf which is correct. How do I get it to automount each time I plug it in? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try this:

First type mount and look to see if it's mounted. Then

ls /dev/sdf*

And see what partition you wish to mount, on /dev/sdf; probably /dev/sdf1. If there are no /dev/sdf partitions, you need to partition the drive, and put a file system on it. I use ext2 type file system for flash devices.

You can add an entry to /etc/fstab to automount:

/dev/sdf1 /mnt/sdf1 vfat defaults,user 0 0

Thanks Awesomemachine. When I type mount, it doesn't show up. How do I get it to show up so I can start the process you outlined above?
