Hi, I need assistance on mounting a vfat formatted usb flash device on an embedded linux (2.4.20 kernel on mips32 processor). I enabled the scsi support, vfat, fat, and msdos file systems, usb and usb-storage during the kernel build. I can see that the device is being enumerated.
The system creates the directory /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 which contains the disc file. If I cat the disc file I can see the LED on the drive blinking and garbage printed to the screen. As I read in the docs, I tried to mount the drive as follows: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash The /dev/sda does not exist (/dev/sda1 does not exist) and if I created it with mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1 things dn't work. I tried the command: mount -t vfat /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 /mnt/flash I get the error message: "mount: Mounting /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 on /mnt/flash failed: Block device required" Also, I tried the command: mount -t vfat /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc /mnt/flash I got the error message: "mount: Mounting /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 on /mnt/flash failed: Invalid argument" Anyone has a pointer to a document to solve this problem?
