mount/umount usb stick - PQI Intelligent Stick 2.0
Hi All:
I'm sure this will be a simple answer for one of you Linux Gurus out there. I have successfully configured, mounted and transferred files from my PQI Intelligent Stick 2.0 to my IBM Thinkpad 570 --which has Fedora Core 1 installed on it. I have done the following to mount the usb stick:
1) Create a mount point - /mnt/usbdisk
2) Add the following entry in /etc/fstab -
/dev/sda /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
3) Entered at terminal - mount /dev/sda /mnt/usbdisk
When I unmount the usb stick with the command "umount /mnt/usbdisk" I lose the mount point and fstab entry. I notice that these don't go away when I unmount the floppy, so how can I keep from retyping these commands over and over again?
Thanks,
_sandbag
Nope. Not to my knowledge anyway. I believe Fedora recognizes the usb stick because it sees it under hwbrowser, but I have to go thru the steps outlined to mount the usb stick. Should I consider one of the two apps you cited?
It would probably be better to use a single mount /dev/sda command if its in fstab. I don' tknow why you made a seperatemount point then mounted it at floppy. It would probably be better to try mounting /dev/sda1 though, unless your usb has a flipped out partition scheme.
