just out of curiousity - most USB disk-on-key devices i saw had a partition on them that was supposed to be mounted (i.e. you'd need to mount /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb3, rather then /dev/sdb).
did you verify that you indeed should mount the entire device? doesn't fdisk recognize partitions on this device? --guy On Sat, 6 May 2006, Avraham Rosenberg wrote: > Date: Sat, 6 May 2006 10:02:28 +0300 > From: Avraham Rosenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: linux-il@linux.org.il > Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Re: problem with usb2.0 usbkey with kernel > 2.6.8] > > ----- Forwarded message from avraham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- > > From: avraham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Chaim Keren Tzion <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: linux-il@linux.org.il > Subject: Re: problem with usb2.0 usbkey with kernel 2.6.8 > > On Sun, Apr 30, 2006 at 11:45:14PM +0300, Chaim Keren Tzion wrote: > > This sound very much like a problem I had/have.
