USB Help
Ok I have been trying to mount my usb hard drive under RH9 for the last couple of days. I am trying to figure out where the problem is, either with Linux and USB or Linux and my usb hard drive (Lacie - fat32). Any help would be great.
[root@normal]# mount /dev/hda7 on / type ext3 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) /dev/hda6 on /boot type ext3 (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom type udf (ro,nosuid,nodev,user=normal) /dev/hda1 on /mnt/vfat type vfat (rw) [root@d154-5-54-24 normal]# [root@ normal]# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/usb mount: mount point /mnt/usb does not exist |
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mount/usb
make sure that the directory /mnt/usb exists mkdir /mnt/usb then apply permissions as appropriate given your security needs using either the graphic properties or chmod in terminal hope this helps |
ezra143 thanks, but when I try this i get this error message:
[root@normal]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mount/usb mount: mount point /mount/usb does not exist then I tried makind mkdir /dev/usb then issuing the above command, and got the same error message. . . any other ideas? |
oops, my bad
typo I meant mkdir /mnt/usb or /mount/usb which ever is actually a directory on your system. |
Just though I would add a little more information. I found this program usbtree that gives you a little more information on my systems usb device.
[root@normal]# ./usbtree /: Bus 03.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=usb-uhci/2p, 12M /: Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=usb-uhci/2p, 12M /: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=usb-uhci/2p, 12M |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=stor., Driver=usb-storage, 12M |
Thanks [root@normal ]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb worked! Thanks for your help !
