 Posted: Tue Oct 21, 2008 11:01 am Post subject: Mounting USB Drive - sda and sdb already taken [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi All
I want to mount a USB stick. I have a 500G drive on sda and another 350G drive on sdb. How do I go about mounting a USB stick when these two are already taken.
lsusb shows the following:
lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0204:6025 Chipsbank Microelectronics Co., Ltd CBM2080 Flash drive controller
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 046d:c03f Logitech, Inc. UltraX Optical Mouse
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 06a3:0006 Saitek PLC Cyborg Gold Joystick
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
and fdisk says correctly I have the two disks as mention.
I have also connected the USB stick and rebooted but sdc does not show up.
uname says:
Linux seneca 2.6.24-gentoo-r8 #3 SMP Tue Aug 5 17:51:29 EST 2008 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Thanks!

Look through the output of dmesg, and see what the kernel says about your USB stick when you plug it in.

You can also mount it by ID as well :
| Code: | | mount /dev/disk/by-id/"then hit tab to see your choices and use the one with usb-something-part1 for your first partition" /path/to/mountinglocation |

| Your problem is not related to running out of sd*, the stick should show up as sdc*. What is the output in dmesg if you plug in the stick? |

OK, presuming that the stick was plugged in during boot, usb-storage seems not to be compiled in. Can you post the output of | Code: | | zgrep -i usb /proc/config |

Your problem is | Code: | | # CONFIG_USB_STORAGE is not set |
Please enable usb storage in your kernel configuration and retry (also make sure you enable "probe all LUNs..." in the SCSI settings, otherwise multicard readers will show only one slot). If you're configuration is OK, the relevant parts should look somewhat like this (on my machine): | Code: | pestix@gondolin ~$ zgrep -i usb_storage /proc/config.gz
# NOTE: USB_STORAGE enables SCSI, and 'SCSI disk support'
# may also be needed; see USB_STORAGE Help for more information
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=m

Hi
I have compiled the kernel with usb drive support and now I can see sdc !
However, what is the command to mount?
I tried:
mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/mp3/
mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
do I need to compile fat in the kernel as well? or do these little drives have someother file system ?
thanks
Shelton.

Yes.
If you care about Windows compatibility, then the USB stick should be formatted with fat16 or fat32.
In theory, any filesystem would work on a USB stick (I have used ext2 and udf in the past). |
