Hello

Have you tried mount /dev/sda /mnt/flashdrive, after having created mnt/flashdrive of course? What are the error messages?

Search LinuxQuestions on these error messages, you will find a lot of information. The memory stick got me here. Now I'm stuck.

Bye

unfortunately, doesn't work =(

Code:

root@firestarter:/# mount /dev/sda /mnt/floppy/ -t vfat
mount: /dev/sda is not a valid block device
root@firestarter:/# mount /dev/sda0 /mnt/floppy/ -t vfat
mount: special device /dev/sda0 does not exist

btw.
is there ANY method to find out which device files are beeing used ?

reclusivemonkey · 10-03-2003, 02:54 PM

I have just reinstalled my system trying to get my DSL working so I can't quite remember the device, but I remember if you look in dmesg or /var/log/messages the clue is in there. Once you have it, they work like a dream :-)

Hey it was on another post here. Its commonly referred to as a "flashdrive". If you search on here for that you'll find its /dev/sda4. Which is the default spare scsi slot I think as thats what my zip drive used to use.

CoryS · 10-03-2003, 02:59 PM

I have a flash card reader that shows up as /dev/sda1. I was able to figure out which device it was by running 'dmesg'. Here's the relevant part from my system (emphasis mine):

scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: USB Mass Model: FlashCardReader Rev:
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

Assuming that your memory stick uses the usb-storage driver (which it should, I think), you should have an entry similar to this in your dmesg which should point you in the right direction.

Next, you need to look in the directory /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0. When you do an 'ls', you should see one (or more) files that are just numbers. Using 'more', look at each file until you find the one that describes your memory stick. Again, another example from my system:

$ more 1
Host scsi1: usb-storage
Vendor: Unknown
Product: Mass Storage Card Reader
Serial Number: FFFFFFFFFFFF
Protocol: Transparent SCSI
Transport: Bulk
GUID: 07c4a2000000ffffffffffff
Attached: Yes

Append the file name (in this case 1) to the part I highlighted above to get the location of your memory stick.

I hope this helps. Post a reply if this isn't clear.

linen0ise · 10-03-2003, 03:26 PM

thanks for the reply,
but i still don't get it working...=(

sorry for the long post, but either the information from dmesg states that it wasn't attached, or I'm kind of blind...
on the other hand ... the output from `cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1` (already in my first post) states it is attached

trying to mount /dev/sr1 or dev/sda(1|4) results in a 'is not a valid block device'

I know this is going to sound silly but it work for me.
1. In MCC make shur that hardrake runs on boot.
2. Unplug the reader from the system. Making shure that the memory stick is in.
3. Shut down the system.
4. Plug in the reader and turn on the system.
System should detect you card reader and set it up.
5. Add this line to you fstab file: /dev/sda1 (whatever path you want) auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0

That should do it.

linen0ise · 10-03-2003, 03:38 PM

I'm using slackware
I don't have harddrake ='(

ceedeedoos · 10-03-2003, 03:40 PM

what I did when I was looking for the device name of my USB Pen Drive, is this

fdisk -l /dev/sd*
and it showed clearly it was attached on sda1

linen0ise · 10-03-2003, 04:01 PM

thanks again, but
fdisk -l /dev/sd*
gives no output
fdisk -l /dev/sr*
nothing usable (only about my cdrom)
fdisk -l only shows information about those listed in /proc/partitions
