When I plug the device in and do:
[root@localhost jason]# modprobe sd_mod
[root@localhost jason]#
That's all I get, should I get some sort of output??
Sorry to act dumb here but I'm a bit lost as to the exact steps to detect/mount a USB device under Linux. I thought most of this was handled by hotplug. When I plugged a Sony Memory Stick reader in it was all handled automagically for me and all I had to do was mount it with Kwikdisk...this is a whole other beast ;)
Thanks for your time...
Cheers

Ok, here goes:no ^^
[root@localhost jason]# modprobe sd_mod
[root@localhost jason]# mount /dev/sda1
mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

Bugger eh?? =)
It' stumping me too....
I thought the mount point was dynamically generated by hotplug???
u must create a mount point (distros could make it for ya but...) and u
can optionally have it listed in fstab
if u do not specify all options in mount it looks for a mount point in
fstab or mtab
but if you do :
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/MOUNTPOINT
it should do the trick... (maybe add a [-t msdos] if it cannot
recognise the filesystem by itself)
anyway, did devfs create the sda device? if yes the solution is a few
keystrokes away :)
