Hello, Well I have 2 different usb memory devices and I cannot seem to get a fat (or ntfs) file system on them.
I have to manually mount them with this command as coldplug does not do it automatically. I have to use: 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb' Then I can use 'cp' to copy files onto the usb mem device but windows can only see the name, not copy files off of the usb mem device. Here's the fstab entries I have tried: none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 #/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,user 0 0 I need to copy a microsoft (.exe) file from a gentoo (archive) to a usb (1.0) memory device so it can be moved to a windows pc. I want my gentoo system to auto-sense the usb memory device including the file system type and make it so I can use cp and other linux programs to copy files over to the windoz file system on the usb memory sticks. If I have to I can use 'mcopy' or other such program on the gentoo system to put windows files onto the usb mem device, when it is plugged into the gentoo system. Any good wiki's or docs? I've tried to follow several web pages but most are old and none show how to have the fat (ntfs) file system automounted upon insertion of the usb sandisk device, which comes from a windows 2000 user, into a gentoo system. ideas?
