Mounting a lexar usb jumpdrive

fcnewbie · 04-28-2004, 10:26 PM

I just installed Fedora Core 1 on my computert, and I want to be able to mount my usb stick drive(/dev/sda1) without having to change to root.

*/Contents of /etc/fstab/*
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
*/End/*

What do I need to do to make the drive mount to /mnt/usb and give any user the permissions they have with floppies and cdroms?

Will adding:

/dev/sda0 /mnt/usb auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

make it work?

In my case I followed this instruction and it worked

I wrote a script file and run it from a bash. The script is as follows:

#!/bin/bash
# script for mounting USB jump drive

mount -vt vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/jump

Then I only need to type jumpon and I'm mounted. Alternately, you can create a script to umount the drive.

This works great for the 'public' partition on the JumpDrive, but for the 'private' partition, when I try to mount it, it gives me the error stating

Code:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, or too many mounted file systems

I assume that this has something to do with sda2 being a secured partition. Does anyone know how to access this 'private' partition? it does show up in my /proc/partition listing as:

Code:

major minor  #blocks  name  rio rmerge rsect ruse wio wmerge wsect wuse running use aveq
