Hi all

I've this strange problem with mu usb stick

I have an external usb disk, which mounts at boot on sda1....
But I've also this stick, which doesn't create (when i plug it in) a sdb1??!!!
I think I thould!

here is my fstab
/dev/sda1 /mnt/work auto noauto,user 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbstick vfat user,noauto,umask-077,sync,exec 0 0

any suggestions, maybe it's something with my kernel, but I doubt that

Thanks in advance
Luca

Look in your /var/log/messages ... what is happening, when you put in the stick?

"umask-077" is that really correct? Should be "umask=077", I guess.

Hi,
I changed the umask thing, rebooted my computer with the usb-stick conencted, with the result that there was a sdb1, very good.
But, after unplugging and plugging it back, the sdb1 doesn't show up, only /dev/sdb

here is the message when plugging it in:

Oh my dear,

you have to umount the device before you unplug the usb stick!

The device is not mounted!!
As far as I know, if I plug the stick in, somehow there should be created a sdb1 (still unmounted)
but that doesn't happen
