Well, for one thing, your mount command is backwards. You should do: mount /dev/sda /mnt/usbdisk
You should probably use fdisk on /dev/sda first to setup a partition table, assuming that you haven't already done so. Then the mount command may be something like: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk rob On Fri, 7 Dec 2001, Kjeld Jensen wrote: > Hi, > > I am a linux newbie and don't know much about linux and USB, but I have > tried to get some information about linux and USB flash ram modules, and > this proved to be quite difficult since I don't know where to look. > > I have a QDI USBdisk http://www.qdieurope.com (I think it is called > EasyDisk in the US) which I would like to use under linux. > > Is this possible? > > I tried to run mount /mnt/usbdisk /dev/sda > > Linux then asked for a file system type, but which one should I choose as > no one seems to work?
