Motorola phone as usb flash drive


Hello, I have a motorola phone (E770v) wich has the capability of working as an usb flash device. The phone has a SD card inside so when i connect the phone to the computer i'm reading/writing in that SD card.

But I'm having some problems to use it in Linux.
This is my entry in fstab:

Code:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb vfat defaults,sync,users,gid=users,umask=0 0 0
When reading from it i have no problems and everything works fine. But when I try to write something I imediatly get an error about I/O.

I don't know if just because it's a phone it needs some special options in fstab...anyone can help me?

If helpful:
Slackware current, Linux 2.6.17.1, drolpine-gnome
AMD XP 1800+, 512MB Ram.

Thanks

I tried that but I still get the same error. It's really annoying not be able to write something.

Can it be another way?

Thanks

After you've mounted it the initial time, try remounting it to the same place.

mount -o rw,remount /mnt/usb
