[rhn-users] cannot detect usb drive

[Kennedy, Cameron]

 not sure this is the right forum, but you need to know what device it
is being picked up as. Try checking /var/log/messages when you insert
the USB stick and it will say what it gets mapped as. 

Usually my usb stick is /dev/sda and there is 1 partition. So in fstab I
would have an entry like: 
/dev/sda1	/mnt/usb		ext3		defaults 0 0 
(this is assuming an ext3 partition or you could replace with vfat. This
is also assuming you want it mounted at /mnt/usb.) 

Or you could manually mount from commandline as: mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1
/mnt/usb

Hi everyone,
I cannot detect my usb flash drive.  It works fine on my windows, but I
don't see it when I use it on my linux box.  Does it need to be mounted
in /etc/fstab?
Many thanks for any advice.
Paula
