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?
