mounting usb mass storage device


I mounted a 128 mb USB mass storage device.
I am not able to find it , was hoping for a desktop icon.
[joe@localhost joe]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost joe]# mkdir /mnt/usb
[root@localhost joe]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
[root@localhost joe]#
Any help would be appreciated.

# chmod 777 /mnt/usb
(that will give your user acount access to the folder)
# emacs /etc/fstab
or
# vi /etc/fstab
(to open an editor)

on the last line put in the info for the device, most likely something to this effect:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb vfat noauto owner, user 0 0

make sure you press enter afterwards as you must have the last line blank (just enter, no spaces or anything)

save it

now you should get an icon on the desktop when you mount the device in the terminal and also by right clicking on the desktop and selecting to mount it.

Here you go

Flash Drive

The only mistake made is in creating the mount point
he/she has this

# cd /mnt
# mkdir /usbstick

should be

# mkdir /mnt/usbstick
