USB FLASH

[kailinin 0]

does anyone know how to mount a usb flash stick in mandrake 9.1?

[spunz 0]

first, lock for the "usb-storage" modul with "lsmod". if you can't find the modul, probe with "modprobe usb-storage"

 

when the modul loadet, you can mount the usbdevice with "mount /dev/sdaX /mnt"

Code:

mkdir /mnt/flash

Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash

Can you see your device in /proc/bus/usb/devices ?

You should be good to go.

if /dev/sda1 does'nt work try /dev/sdb1.
