---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Filipe Freire <freire...@gmail.com> Date: 27 September 2012 12:42 Subject: mounting extern FREECOM HD in squeeze To: debian-user <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Dear All! I am having problems getting a stable mount of an extern FREECOM HD on debian squeeze. Sometimes it mounts and by running # blkid -o list -c /dev/null get /dev/sdb1 vfat FREECOM HDD /media/FREECOM HDD 13EC-4051 but it often umounts while copying files and can not mount it again. Tried placing the line in fstab UUID=13EC-4051 /media/Ext-HD vfat defaults,auto,exec,users,rw 0 0 but get mount: special device UUID=13EC-4051 does not exist also /dev/sdb1 is gone. Any missing mod that I should look for? Any ideas are welcome. Thank you in advance, Filipe PS what should be a relevant part from running dmesg is: [ 193.043620] USB Mass Storage support registered.
