Lexar USB key, please help
 

Does anybody know how to mount one, or any USB Key? So far I've created a directory in /mnt labled /mnt/usbkey

and I've ran "tail -f /var/log/messages" and here's what I got:
kernel: cdrom: This disk doesn't have any tracks I recognize
-- MARK --
kernel: usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
kernel: usb.c: registered new driver hib
kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
kernel: usb.c: USB Mass Storage support registered
-- MARK --

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Have a look at the Mass Storage Device section of the Linux USB Guide.

Well, I did modprobe for two modules, and now there's something that shows up in usb-storage and also in /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1 and in /proc/scsi/scsi


/proc/scsi/scsi:

Attached devices:
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 ID: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: LEXAR Model: JUMPDRIVE Rev:1.10
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02

/proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1:
Host scsi1: usb-storage
Vendor: LEXAR MEDIA
Product: JUMPDRIVE
Serial Number: 0000000115721
Protocol: Transparent SCSI
Transport: Bulk
GUID: 05dc00800000000000115721
Attached: Yes


Now, what do I do?

Followup:
I ended up running the command mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbkey and it worked! Now my question is, how can I chmod my usbkey so I don't have to log in as SU to move files onto it and remove files? I ran the command chmod 777 /mnt/usbkey but it didn't work....

Okay, so I can mount it and everything, but now I can't write to it... Here's my fstab settings for my USB Key....
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbkey vfat user,noauto,rw 1 2

r_jensen11, I have a keychain usb storage device. Here is what I do so that I can mount it:

Add this line to your /etc/fstab

/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbkey vfat noauto,users,umask=000,gid=600 0 0

Then you can setup a link to mount just like you would another harddrive.

Thanks, ddpicard. Here're my problems though, with my current settings:

When I boot up, I have to manually type in modprobe usb-storage;modprobe usb-uhci

How can I get it so I don't have to do that? I tried using putting both commands in my /etc/modules.conf, each in their own line, so the first read modprobe usb-storage, but there was an error whenever I booted, so I changed it to usb-storage, and that still didn't solve any problem. How can I fix that?

My other problem is, how can I get it so it doesn't think it's a read-only device? If it's with setting up a link, how would I go about doing that? Sorry, but I'm still very much a newby...
