I have today set up a new installation of Linux Mint and it is exhibiting the same symptoms as my installation of Squeeze as follows - I have a USB stick permanently plugged in (for backup purposes) and when the system boots the stick is not mounted. When I first installed it mounted ok and I could see it on the desktop, but now I have to physically unplug and replug the stick to get the system to mount it. I think this behaviour may have occurred after I installed a trial version of NOD32 antivirus for Linux (on both systems), but I'm not certain. I stopped NOD32 from starting at boot but this doesn't make any difference, so I don't know if that is the cause or maybe some other software update. Any ideas would be welcome.
My knowledge is pretty elementary at this level but I have run the following 2 commands to check that the device is recognised: fdisk -l reveals: Disk /dev/sdb: 4076 MB, 4076863488 bytes 166 heads, 54 sectors/track, 888 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8964 * 512 = 4589568 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xc3072e18 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 889 3981288 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(495, 165, 54) logical=(888, 47, 54) also blkid gives: /dev/sdb1: LABEL="ISISBACK" UUID="D743-AC68" TYPE="vfat" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
