im not sure how to configure fedora core 2 to read my camera. it is a Fuji FinePix E510 here is my fstab that i tried to configure:

here is the error message i get when i try to mount it:
mount /mnt/camera
[mntent]: line 11 in /etc/fstab is bad
mount: can't find /mnt/camera in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

here is my demesg after connecting the camear:

this is clearly meant to be two seperate lines....

it is two lines in fstab i don't know why it pasted like that.

well what DOES that file say then? there's clearly a syntax error in it somewhere, and if you're putting it all down to a pasting error, we can't fix it!

/dev/cdrom /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,r/dev/sda1/
/mnt/camera vfat umask=000 0 0

ok in fstab it is on seperate lines, but in emacs there is an arrowfrom the line starting /dev/cdrom to /mnt/camera. So how do i get rid of that area that i assume is connecting the lines to make the read as one? Other then that does it look right? Also is umask=000 connected to the filesystem or is it an option? I want to add user to it so more then root can mount it but don't know if i do umask=000 user or umask=000, user. thanks for any help

that's just a word wrap i'd guess, not a different line. look at the changes i suggested above.

you've also got two entries for /dev/cdrom... not good.

the device at cdrom is a combo cd burner and dvd drive so that is why i have two entries but i also thought it wasn't correct. I believe the entry for the dvd drive doesn't work

none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

/dev/cdrom /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera vfat noauto, umask=000 0 0


that is my newest fstab and i get the same error message. Im not sure why it isn't working. I based it on my thumb drive entry because it connects via usb, and that works. i dunno.

right ok... delete those last two entries then, they're just a waste of space. there is not point having multiple entries for one /dev entry if /mnt/usb works.. then everything is working fine.

ok thanks. I was thinkng of mount points in the wrong way i guess. I was thinking you had to create an entry for each devices but it makes sense you only have to make a mount point for usb if two devices connect the same way.

to me at least, any /mnt/point is fine.. all work the same. as a bit of extra background, the newer "udev" /dev filesystem (i assume FC2 uses the now deprecated devfs system like i still do) will actually remember what a device is when you plug it in. so plugging a usb stick is should (post configuration of course) create /dev/usbstick while your camera could be /dev/camera, and /dev/sda1 would no onger exist. much nicer... but irrelevant here.
