Rep:
Cannot Mount USB HDD
I'm on Debian Lenny and having issues mounting a USB hard drive. More specifically, it is a digital multitrack recorder with a USB port. The theory is, you connect it to your computer... press "USB mode" on the recorder... and it makes itself appear as an 80GB USB hard drive (with 2 partitions) to the computer.
When I mount it in Windows XP, it mounts fine. According to Windows the 1st partition is FAT and the 2nd partition is FAT32. And when I plug a 1GB jump drive into the same USB port, Debian automounts with no problems.
It will not mount automagically in Gnome, and when I try to mount it as root:
Code:
mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /media/usb1
or
Code:
mount -t auto /dev/sdb2 /media/usb2
I get:
Code:
special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
special device /dev/sdb2 does not exist
I also tried vfat instead of auto. And I manually created the directories under /media.
And when I do a:
I get:
Code:

I've poked around the internet and searched the forums. I tried a few things and can't seem to get anywhere. So I'm not quite sure where to go from here.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
