Hi, I'm using MachineKit as well. To be able to use my USB thumb drive I do the following (with an internet connection via the ethernet port):
sudo apt-get install pmount then I use: sudo fdisk -l to find the USB drive. It usually ends up being sda. There were two partitions on the drive, sda1 and sda2, so I use: sudo pmount sda2 since that is where the data I want to access is. After this I could access the drive. This is not a permanent fix (if that is what you are looking for). I need to do this every time after I boot (which really isn't an issue for me since I'm setting up fresh LinuxCNC MachineKit systems and copying over files to the new uSD). Sometimes I need to re-insert the thumb drive if it isn't found after booting up. To make the mount happen at bootup you should be able to change the /etc/fstab file. You can try adding the following line to your fstab file to get it to mount at boot time: /media/sda2 / ext4 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 0 Follow the same format as the mmcblk lines in the file. If your disk isn't sda2, then change that to whatever it shows up as from the fdisk command (above).
