i have recently install fc3 onto my hp dx6100 pc. I can mount my usbpen thru automount but after I unmount it, I cannot remount it unless I reboot the pc. Any suggestions.

Just as in Windows XP, if you unmount (release) the USB key (as you should before removing the key), then you get the same problem.

 

If you unmount the stick, remove it, then re-insert it, does auto-mount bring it up again?

 

If you look at the /etc/fstab file contents, note the mount point of the usb stick. You can always mount it manually. Say, fstab says it is at sda1...then;

 

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/(what the mount point is in FC3, as noted in the fstab file).

automount doesnt bring it back up again, is looks like the usb port dies after I unmount, I get no sign of life from the port (eg. no flashing light on the pen to show it being accessed).Have tried pluging in another usb pen but I get the same problem. The only time it doesnt happen is when after a clean reboot, I put a usb 1.1 pen in first, mount and unmount the pen,unplug it then I can use my usb 2.0 pen without any problems, mounting,unmounting and unplugging and remounting. any more suggestions
