Lexar JumpDrive 1GB


I am trying to use a Lexar Jump Drive 1GB. I have started the USB-Storage Module. and I use the tail -s 3 -f /var/log/messages command to find this out.

May 2 16:55:59 dhcppc2 su(pam_unix)[8572]: session opened for user root by extr


Why is it trying to use a floppy driver? I have been doing all this as root.

I tried modpobe usb-storage before plugging in the USB drive. I tried to mount the drive manually w/ mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/usbdrive got an error.

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


[root@dhcppc2 mnt]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
