USB: Memory Stick: no /dev/sda1
I'm running FC3. I'm having problems with a USB memory stick. When I plug it in, a device appears in the /dev directory (/dev/sda), but no mountable partition appears: /dev/sda1 does not appear. This is not because there is no such partition. If I run fdisk on it and immediately exit, then a /dev/sda1 will appear, and I can mount it, and copy files to, and everything is fine.
What must I do to cause the /dev/sda1 partition to automatically appear whenever I plug in the memory stick (so I can then automount it)? |

The reboot made no difference. The dev/dsa1 still does not automatically appear.

What about making an entry in your /etc/fstab file?

i encoutered the same problem..i am using mobile disk Z4 by Twinmos...enty on fstab won't work.:(
|
Most likely a problem with hotplug not your fstab... I would look in that direction. Personally I don't like all this automounting junk... I disable it...

I think you are right, i dont have a running hotplug service which was mentioned from other post. i dont even get an /dev/sda1 when tried to run fdisk.
I would be happy at least if it goes automount. :D |
