 |
|
I have two drag'n'drop mp3 players, with fat32 filesystem (i guess?). Mounting them through ROX with "sudo mount". File move/copy/delete is extremely slow for normal user - speed is sometimes in the magnitude of 100KB per second... But there is no problem if i open up a terminal, su and then mount as root. This is my fstab:
| Code: | /dev/sda1 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda3 /home ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/sda6 /mnt/ubuntu ext3 noauto,ro,user,umans=0 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro,user,umask=0 0 0
/dev/sdb /mnt/usb vfat noauto,rw,user,sync,umask=0 0 0 |
I guess the mount options are not right? Any tips?

i have drag en drop usb storage, en i dont remember the original fs...i formated it to ntfs which for sure interms of speed it will beat vfat.But for mp3 i dunno if the mp3 player will support ntfs, i have no clue on that...but the process looks reversible to my eyes.
P:S
About that fstab, why dont u just setup automount then u dont have to deal with manually mounting usb/cdrom...i get tired of repeatitive tasks..i know im lazzy

Setting up automount seems too tedious to me. In Rox-Filer I just click the mount point and it mounts the usb according to fstab. It mounts using "sudo mount".
