Steve Scrimpshire Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Um. It would help to know what kind of device it is and if it shows up in /etc/fstab Could you post the contents of /etc/fstab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Well, I haven't played with this yet, but it seems like "some device is mounted at some place with some file system" is the rule. So, I would try an entry in /etc/fstab that reflected that. Make a directory in /mnt for the drive, like /mnt/usbdrive. I would use the cdrom criteria, so /usb/whatevershowsup /mnt/usbdrive auto ro, noauto, user, exec 0 0 Someone else might know for sure, but if I were playing, I would try this.

Guest nexe Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 its a DSE USB ProDrive XH8054 /etc/fstab /dev/hdb5 / xfs defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb1 /boot xfs defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hd auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0 could the reason why nothing is showing up be because its formated in FAT and not NTFS?

kmack Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 could the reason why nothing is showing up be because its formated in FAT and not NTFS? No. USB storage devices are formatted as VFAT and that is fine. Linux can read it. here's relevant part of my etc/fstab for USB storage device: /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,exec 0 0 All I did was plug my card reader in with a card installed, start the computer and it automagically detected it and put an icon on my desktop and edited the etc/fstab for me. But they don't all happen that way. Ixthusdan is right, you need to make a mount point for it. A quick GOOGLE and I found this: http://ldots.org/prodrive/ http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.filereade...logs/DTS0001472 second link is dse's driver files! Try the instructions on these sites and see if it works for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
