Okay, I'm just not familiar enough yet to figure this out. I went through the HOWTOs but it seems like every HOWTO or Thread I have read, the harddrives are IDE, and the USB Stick is then set up to sda1. Well, my sda1 is already taken up, so I cannot use it... and I don't know what to do yet. I have everything *'d in the kernel, and I'm pretty sure it's recognizing my USBstick, so how do I mount this little sucker. I have emerged hotplug also.
I put Mr. USB-Stick in and here's my dmesg:
| Code: | usb 1-8: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11
scsi12 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 11

These two commands don't exist:
So, where do I go from here. I would really like to get a file on this puppy for work tonight if at all possible.
Thanks |

This shows the partitioning of your usb stick.
# mount /dev/sdb1 /media/whatever

daft question, maybe I'm reading your post wrong, but have you tried..
| Code: | mount /dev/sdb1 /some/place/to/mount/it/to
cp /home/my_name/file /some/place/to/mount/it/to
|
.. if so, what did it say?

I made this:
/mnt/usbstick
then I type: mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbstick
| Code: | | mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist |

is this the first time you've used this USB device on that machine?
It could be the system is not understanding the filesystem on it. if it has one of course. (you would of course it assume it has though  )

| It's a UDEV problem, just found out. I'll have to get back to ya'll after I get a few more details. I do have it up and running, but I have to boot the computer, put the stick in, and then run udevstart. After that, it's fine... strange. |
