/dev/sda1 is not in the User Mount tool and yet my flash drive is plugged in.

[Stephen Akandwanaho]

Hello all !

Iam wondering why my usb drive or flash drive is never detected on my
Linux machine.
when i run  ls /mnt/flash , it says no such directory.

and when i run cat /etc/fstab, i dont see this line there  "/dev/sda1
/mnt/flash auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 " it's not there.

and when i run dmesg | grep scsi0 -A 3 ,i only get errors. SO IAM
WONDERING WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM and i want to copy some data from
there but it cant be mounted.

Thank you
Stephen Akandwanaho
