simple, quick question..
ok, this one should be easy...it's just that I don't - for some reason - remember how to do this and don't have time right now to figure it out.
I have a new usb memory stick, which I'd like to connect to my linux box. no problem, when I plug it, (altough I can't get any sign) I can see it, for example, by opening XCDroast or something similar which shows some devices - there it is, Memory Adapter. the question is: where do I find the device which I mount? I guess it's sda or sda4, but I'm not sure...so where could I possibly see which/what device file is the one I need? thanks for help, altough this one's a beginner's question :) it's funny that a person who has used linux for a while can't remember these easy things....but I'm really in a hurry now so please help! by the way - I tried installing this on an old win98se last night, and it took me three hours to get the drivers installed. on linux? I plugged in, and could see it - it's only the device file that's missing.... :) hehee... |
hi,
I'm not sure whether this is the most elegant way (I'm a newbie myself ;)) to find out, which device to mount - but it helped for me: plug in your usb stick, then do Code:
cat /var/log/messages Code:
[...] easy, wasn't it? ;) I hope I could help you. |
yeah, except that I don't have the /var/log/messages file....guess I don't have some logging on. nevertheless, thanks for trying to help :) I got the problem solved myself, by trying to mount different devices (which, I guess, is not the easiest way but...) and finally I got lucky :)
btw. this memory stick just kicks *ss :) I got fed up with all that rw-burning because it took so much time..and discs were big. |
I've just found out that having a look at the output of dmesg would have helped, too. anyway - I'm glad you figured it out. ;)
|
yeah.. :) well, good to know for similar problems in the future.. ;)
