I have a little USB stick that I've been trying to mount but with no success. When it is connected, my dmesg output registers:

Code:

[ 1387.474000] usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[ 1387.631000] DEV: registering device: ID = '2-1'
[ 1387.631000] PM: Adding info for usb:2-1
[ 1387.631000] bus usb: add device 2-1
[ 1387.631000] bound device '2-1' to driver 'usb'
[ 1387.631000] DEV: registering device: ID = 'usbdev2.2_ep00'
[ 1387.631000] PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev2.2_ep00
[ 1387.632000] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 1387.634000] DEV: registering device: ID = '2-1:1.0'
[ 1387.634000] PM: Adding info for usb:2-1:1.0
[ 1387.634000] bus usb: add device 2-1:1.0
[ 1387.634000] CLASS: registering class device: ID = 'usbdev2.2'
[ 1387.634000] class_uevent - name = usbdev2.2
[ 1387.634000] class_device_create_uevent called for usbdev2.2


It appears to me that the device file is /dev/usbdev2.2_ep00 and indeed the file is created. However, when I try to mount it I get failure:

Code:

 $ mount /dev/usbdev2.2_ep00 /mnt/temp/   
mount: /dev/usbdev2.2_ep00 is not a block device


I'm not sure what to do here, and I have all the apparently necessary modules compiled into the kernel to mount a USB device. I have a few FAT32 hard drives that have been connected without a problem, and a USB flash drive that has operated well without hassle.

You may want to check if it's being automounted to /media .
