How do I get my USB 2.0 Hard Disk to MOUNT?
Hi Guys (& Gals)
I have been using linux for about 9 days and have SuSE 9.1 Personal. ... And this is my first ever post!!!!! ... so here it goes.... *gulp*..... I have just bought a 160GB USB 2.0 hard disk for my new laptop which I connected to my Windoze PC, to copy the files I wanted, on which it worked fine. However under SuSE 9.1 (KDE 3.2) although it does show up when connected it doesn't mount automatically and the 'mount' option is not in the 'right-click-menu' How do I mount it, please?? :scratch: |
make a mount point for it
Code:
mkdir /mnt/usb_biggee Code:
/dev/devicename /mnt/usb_biggee vfat defaults 1 1 then Code:
mount /mnt/usb_biggee Code:
cd /mnt/usb_biggee hope this helps, linux_terror |
wow.... that's complicated....
Ok, I'll give it a try, wish me luck! And Thanks! |
