Well, at first I thought I was having a problem getting my system to recognize my sandisk usb memory stick. But after reading through the forum on getting a memory stick to work, I think my problem may be a little bigger.
The system immediately recognizes the memory stick, but not as a SCSI drive. Before I plug it in, there is an empty subdirectory: /dev/ub/ As soon as I plug it in, it makes a new subdirectory: /dev/ub/a/ which contains the following block devices: /dev/ub/a/disc /dev/ub/a/part1 I can use cfdisk to look at "/dev/ub/a/disc" and see it has a fat16 partition, and I know the memory stick is ok because I use it every day on another system. But every time I try to mount it with either of the following, I'm told there is a bad superblock, or there are too many file systems mounted. mount /dev/ub/a/part1 /mnt/usb mount -t vfat /dev/a/part1 /mnt/usb Coincidently, I also just noticed that I have the same error and cannot mount any msdos floppies. I've gone through my kernel several times, and have all the file formats for windows and vfat, etc. enabled, but I must be missing something. -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
