USB flash memory???
I am using MDK 9.1 and I wonder if there exist any easy way to mount the USB flash memory stick I have...
|
I had no problems with a flash memory pen. I just plugged it into the USB port and, with Mandrake 9.1, it mounted it as /mnt/removable and there is was, ready for me.

Your usb device will appear as a scsi device, you chould be able to see what the system is calling it in /proc/scsi. With fdisk -l you should be able to see which kind of filesystem exists on the usb-device. It should be named like sd1,2,3 or something.

plug it in
type (possibly as root, depending on your setup) mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable remember to umount /dev/sda1 before you unplug |
In trying to contact my RedHat Linux 9 machine to my usb storage pen I was adviced to log on as su - and type cd /mnt/usb-pen and then type ls. This did only get me root@localhost usb-pen, but no visible content on the connected pen. I then tried mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb-pen, but the machine tells me mount: /dev/sdb1 is not a valid block device. I then try modprobe /usb-storage with no other result than root@localhost root. I then try mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb-pen getting me the old /dev/sdb1 is not a valid block device. After this I exit out of su -. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me if there is hope for my USB-pen on Linux.

usbdrive
I tried to mount usbdrive via shell script but always system gives me an error.
I put usbdrive in /etc/fstab but system do not mount it again. Only after I login and issue a command mount -a , usbdrive is mounted. Anyone knows how to have a usbdrive mounted using a script? My usb drive filesystem was created with: mke2fs -j -m0 /dev/sda1 My script is this as root: #!/bin/sh make -p /datadir for device in /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 \ ; do mount -t ext3 -o ro $device /datadir if test $? -eq 0 then e2fsck $device -y mount -t ext3 -o rw $device /datadir fi done Mount complains /dev/sda1 is wrong file system, bad block or too mounted filesystem when booting but when I issue the same mount after login, usbdrive mount ! Could anyone help me? Thank you in advance. |
Usb Flash memory problem
I have a problem with my USB FLASH Memory on Suse Linux 8.2.
It was working as it should by mounting with the command: $ mount /media/sda1, and then it was possible to read and write to the USB flash memory. But then, once I forgot to do $ umount /media/sda1 and unpluged the device without umounting. Since then it won't mount and gives the following error: /dev/sda1: No such file or directory mount: /dev/sda1 is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?) Can anybody help me with this.
