Mounting a USB drive
I am using DamnSmallLinux and I don't know how to access my USB drive.
When I try to mount the drive using: mount -t vfat -o uid=dsl,gid=users /dev/sda /home/dsl/desktop/flash I get the following error: "mount: wrong fs type, bad options, bad super block on /dev/sda or too many mounted file systems" I am not too sure what to do, any help is appreciated. |
It should be /dev/sda1 not /dev/sda

Thought it might :D

Thanks again. One more question: how do you unmount the USB drive?
|
The command is umount /mount-path
|
And to turn this into a learning opportunity for those that aren’t aware: the ‘1’ at the end of ‘/dev/sda1’ references the first partition on the device ‘/dev/sda’. Just ‘/dev/sda’ would not be enough for mount to know exactly what to mount.
