What I would like to do is have FCII auto mount it when I power up the PC.
So if I do this ~ # mount /mnt/flashdrive will the stick auto mount each time or do I need to do something else.
Unfortunately, the answer to that question is, it depends. There are three related ways to mount your USB drive: long hand manually, an fstab entry, and the automount daemon.
The long hand method looks like so:
$ mount /dev/sdd /mnt/flashdrive
Depending on the filesystem, you can pass a number of arguments to mount using the -o option. You will also need to know what device the kernel assigns to your USB device. You can find this out by looking in /var/log/messages or dmesg.
The fstab entry method adds an entry to you /etc/fstab file like so: /dev/sdd /mnt/flashdrive auto defaults 0 0 Then you can mount using the shortened version of the above: $ mount /mnt/flashdrive
The automount method requires that you start the autofs deamon and configure it using entries in /etc/auto.* files.
HTH and let us know how things go.
