Hi Dominique, I've had some interesting problems with partitions not being detected on devices sometimes. With *slow* usb devices like a zip drive this is a big problem, but even usb sticks are sometimes a hassle.
So when I insert the device, it creates /dev/sda but not /dev/sda1 for the partitions in it My workaround is to: 1) insert the device 2) use fdisk to detect the partition table fdisk /dev/sda p q 3) then mount and as a result of (2), I get the /dev/sda1 device node created. I'm pretty sure I read of better tools for doing this than fdisk (chkpart or something) but I obviously didn't bookmark that site and haven't turned up anything on google. hope that helps cheers Stu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
