After I got my device working I used 'fdisk /dev/sda' and it showed me one partition. I don't know if that is the documented way, but it worked. When the device was NOT working fdisk reported that it was 'unable to open device', for obvious reasons of course (device wasn't there yet). then just did a: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media > > what could be going on? could it be something to do with > /etc/init.d/hotplug? do hotplug services need to be running? I don't use this, but from what I understand it is just a series of shell scripts. > > i can't believe somebody else hasn't already figured out this apparently > common problem! please help! > _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
