Linux rescue for FC7: Mounting a thumbdrive
Hi,
Would just like to know if it is possible to mount a thumbdrive in Linux rescue (launched through the FC7 installation DVD). If so, how can this be achieved? Thanks. |
Yes, you can. You do this by using the mount command. For example, if you plug in the thumbdrive and dmesg says it was detected as 'sdb', you would:
Create a mount point: Code:
mkdir thumbdrive Code:
mount /dev/sdb ./thumbdrive |

Hi,
I followed the command as indicated below. Managed to get the lights on the thumbdrive to flash momentarily, before getting an error message saying that type is required for this command. Is there some additional parameter which must be added? My thumbdrive is of file system type "vfat". Did see some postings on adding some lines to /etc/fstab so I'm not sure if this has to be done as well. Thanks in advance. Quote:

mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 thumbdrive hth |
