scaltro Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 My Mandrake 10.1 with KDE doesn't auto mount usb-key when I plug it in... This is strange for me because in the "old" mandrake 10.0 it worked.. Anyone know if I can resolve this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest krefson Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 This may be because your USB drive does not have any partitions on it. Mandrake 10.1 drakxtools will not auto-mount a whole-disk filesystem such as /dev/sda. If you look in /var/log/messages, you can find out what device udev creates for the USB drive. I recently discovered that for my USB key, which was "as supplied" without any partitions that the device file is /dev/sda. After creating a partition on /dev/sda1 it is auto-mounted on insertion. You will probably have to find a Windows machine to run the partitioning software which should have been supplied with your key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
