Mount points and UMS devices?
How can I find the correct mount point and device name to use for a UMS device.
I have an iriver H10 20GB that someone gave me and I cannot see it in /mnt or /media. I have tried manually adding the device by adding a new line in /etc/fstab to no avail. I know this device is strictly speaking the product of an illicit mating between bill gates and someone @ iriver, but surely I should be able to SEE it under Linux? Make the answer idiot proof please!! If I cannot get it thru Linux, how can I access usb from XP pro running in VMware? I can't figure this out either! |

I haven't mounted as I can't find it? - I hope this makes sense, I am a total newb.

Run dmesg then, in order to find out which device to use. For example:
scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access Samsung YP-U2 0100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4 sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] 254656 2048-byte hardware sectors (522 MB) sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 3e 00 00 00 sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] 254656 2048-byte hardware sectors (522 MB) sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 3e 00 00 00 sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through sda: sda1 sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 usb-storage: device scan complete The bold line is the important one. It tells me the kernel is calling my device "sda" and that there's one partition on it, "sda1". So, I would use "/dev/sda1" as the device name if I wanted to mount this partition. |

I assume this is a mp3 player Run Code:
dmesg | lesshttp://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/dmesg8.html Then find out what file system the device uses and mount it. http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/mount8.html http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz http://tldp.org/ http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/ |
