Your fstab does not contain scripts. It contains entries to tell the mount programme how to deal with devices and mountpoints that you use regularly.
Firstly, you need to know the device name. If you have no other USB storage devices, and you have no SCSI storage devices, then it is likely to be
/dev/sda1. To be sure, plug in the device, type
dmesg. You should hopefully get something like this:
Code:
hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-1.4, assigned address 4
scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: Generic Model: Traveling Disk Rev: 1.11
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sdb: 129024 512-byte hdwr sectors (66 MB)
sdb: Write Protect is off
/dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1
WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured
USB Mass Storage device found at 4
Then change to the user
root and issue the command
fdisk -l (that is a lowercase L, by the way). You should get some output like this:
Code:
[root@grants gsewell]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda1: 66 MB, 66060288 bytes
16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 252 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 251 64240 6 FAT16
If you have this, then so far so good. Then you can make the directory where you intend on reading the files (/mnt/cyclone for example). Now you can edit your /etc/fstab file and add an entry along the following lines:
Code:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/cyclone auto users,noauto 0 0
Save the changes to the files and try mounting your device.
Hope this helps.
