Hello everybody, I' m running a slakware 10 on my pc, and dispite my efforts I could get working my USB card Reader(it reads; SD,MS,Flash,etc)
Can Anyone help me¿? I tried adding it to /etc/fstab ....but it didnt worked, I recently added mi digital camera.
This Card reader used to work just fine on suse, red hat, and mandrake.
Could some one give me a hand?¿
thx
Cool, i don't own a usb storage device of any kind so i can't garantee this will work but you can try:
Code:
mount -t auto <dev> /mnt
Replace <dev> with dev's listed in /dev/usb to try. You don't have to add the device to fstab to be mounted, it's usually added there only for practicity.
well it could be one of the above needs uncommenting as well.
you can try all this from the command line first, and if it works then modify the file
as described. If it does not help, well no harm done. Also search this site for threads containing 'usb-storage'
Then created a directory under /mnt called digital camera. ie. /mnt/digitalcamera
After making a device icon on the desktop, I was able to access the camera's memory card and get my pictures off it. Also I can erase the memory card also
If you try this, I suggest that you have a memory card in your reader when you mount the device.

I'm sure you meant /mnt/usbdrive in the second line?
What I do is run
tail -f /var/log/messages
in an xterm, and then plug in the device. The hotplug sytem should detect it and spit out the device name, usually /dev/sda1.
However, if it is a multiple slot card reader, support for checking all 'luns' has to be in the kernel. This is not the case in my old debian install, but haven't tried it in slack10, since my reader has only one lonely slot (xD).
