Hello folks!
I just got a 256MB USB keydisk. After poking arount fstab(5) aand mount(8), with attention to the tmpfs and usbfs entries, I got exactly nowhere. After a bit more nosing around the manualsand the 'net, I added the following line to fstab,
(One line) /dev/sda /media/usb vfat rw,user,auto,umask=0000,codepage=1255,iocharset=iso8859-8 0 0
based on an entry for one of my fat32 partitions. (The user option makes it mountable and dismountable by anyone).
I could then do (u)mount /media/usb
which worked perfectly and I could even see the thing quite happily from a Win2K Samba client.
What I would like to do, is have it auto mount and dismount like a CD ROM or a floppy disk. For the latter, the fstab entry is
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0
I guess I need something like
/dev/sda /media/usb subfs fs=<Umm, what?>,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0
1. usually /dev/sda is not mountable.
Odd. I found that the two ports were /dev/sda and sdb. In the HW info section of YaST, it showed /dev/sda as being (somehow) the same as /dev/sga2 which is definitely not useful here (I tried it).
you can discover which partition to mount with fdisk: fdisk -l /dev/sda will show you partition table.
- which comes out very strange:
Disk /dev/sda: 261 MB, 261881856 bytes 9 heads, 56 sectors/track, 1014 cylinders Units = cylinders of 504 * 512 = 258048 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 ? 3709864 4044566 84344761 69 Unknown
Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(68, 13, 10) logical=(3709863, 7, 22)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(288, 115, 43) logical=(4044565, 2, 15)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.there will be written which filesystem is used. I've had flashdisks with fat12, fat [a.k.a. FAT16] and vfat [a.k.a. FAT32]
after you know it, you have answer for all your questions. NOTE: you're on the right track.
Yeah. I'll just keeep battling on ...
:)
Max.
Thanks.
Environment: SuSE 9.2 patched upto date.
Any ideas?
