 |
|
Hi all !
I have some problems with mount usb pen drive.
When I insert drive icons appears on desktop but it's impossible to mount when I try to mount I get:
"mount: can't find /dev/sdc3 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"
any ideas how to get mount working (without putting /dev/* in fstab) ???
Thanks

Without an entry in fstab there is no place to mount this pen drive to. You can mount it manually: as root, create a directory called 'pendrive' (for example) in /mnt, then enter the command 'mount /dev/sdc3 /mnt/pendrive' - that should do the trick.
If you add a line like
| Code: |
/dev/sdc3 /mnt/pendrive auto users,noauto 0 0
|
to fstab, the icon should work, too.

Thanks for replay !
isn't there any package that would do it for me ? for example in "/media" and create mountpoint automaticly ??
For example when I used "knoppix" I didn't have to write anything in fstab ... everything was created automaticly, I'v inserted USB HD/pendrive
and clicked mount on it then folders for respective drive for ex (sdc2, sdc3) was created automaticly in "/mnt" |

Yes, Hal and/or dbus does that. I'm not sure what it takes to configure it, but you should be able to find that.
But note that there is a problem with how the kernel handles vfat filesystems. You have to make a modifcation to hal. This thread explains it. This is my post in it with an eloquent solution  |

the only thing I needed was pmount... as I alredy have hal and dbus working...

| Don't forget what I said about vfat filesystems, unless you want to throw away your pendrive next week. |

Thanks for warning !
I don't use vfat and other nasty stuff related to Microsoft as I'm truly Linux user.
For any stuff that I need to get from home to W$ndows I use "sftp".
p.s. For 2 monts ago I'v get Windows XP source code just wanted to see... after that I been seen nightmares - it stinks,
there is thre cotegories of source code:
1. source code - then you look at it nothings happend
2. source code - then you look at it you cry becouse of happines
3. source code - you just cry (Microsoft case) |

Still, I'd follow my advice and disable the sync option for mobile storage, to prevent destroying friend's hardware.

Not really relevant here, but let me just say that be cautious about mentioning that. I doubt that Microsoft likes what you're doing. And, I would guess a forum admin here, is going to delete that part of your message. It's kind of illegal material... |
