Nothing heard before, I will try again.What do you have listed in fstab for proc?
I have a USB 2 Sony Microvault 256Meg pen drive. I am running SID. The pen drive is recognized as a hub and mass storage device and listed as sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4. The devices are listed properly in usbview.
But, I cannot mount it. I have gone through mount -t vfat /dev/sdax /usbstcik for all four and get error of "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdax or too many mounted file systems"
Trying fdisk results in an error "unable to read /dev/sdax"
Anyone using this particular pen drive successfully? Any suggestions? I am using a Memorex pen drive without difficulty on same machine. What is frustrating is the device is recognized so there must be a way to make it work and, of course, it works under Windows so the device is OK.
TIA

I have:
#usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,devmode=0660,devgid=432 0 0 #none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
the first commented out entry would let me mount a usb harddrive, but not a pendrive. Same with the 2nd. The third lets me mount both the harddrive and the pendrive, BUT I had to change the fstab entry for the hardrive from sdb1 to sda1 and the pendrive from sda to sdb. If you realy have 4 partitions on your pendrive then good, if you only have one partition on the drive then you need sda. I don't understand all this, it is close to magic. I guess this is why Linus does not like this system and a new one is out with 2.6.0 kernels. Hope this helps
