Although the minicom shows "sdb: sdb1" when I plug in the thumb drive, it does not appear under mount. Mounting manually does not help either, "mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ usb" tells me that I do not have a file or directory under that name even after I manually created the folders. I've tried adding "dev_mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb vfat user,noauto,uid=1000,rw,noexec,sync,noatime 0 0" to vold.fstab and run vold from android shell but nothing occurred?
