Create a mount point e.g. /media/usbdisk and do the following

Code:

#mount -t vfat /dev/sda /media/usbdisk

Substitute /dev/sda with the device name of your own USB disk. Post back if you have any problems.

You plugin the usb device and then run dmesg. For example if I plugin a USB device into one of the usb ports and do

Code:

dmesg | tail

In the output, I get

Code:

sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdc

That shows that /dev/sdc is the usb device I have just plugged in.

i know! but it doesnt say anything about putting it at ans sdc

this is what i got

Code:

usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohic_hcd and address 2

It's "kernel".
