Mounting with -t vfat doesn't work ("mount: wrong fs type, bad option, badsuperblock on /dev/sda, or too many mounted file systems") and -t auto sulks and asks me to specify the file type (same result as when I tried John's solution). It ain't msdos either - any ideas?On Sat, 15 Feb 2003 19:41:26 +0200 robin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:I'm trying to mount a Sony TRV340E video camera via USB. I'm not worried about video (my hardware isn't realy up to anyway) but I would like to be able to get at the stills in the memory chip.you may need to modprobe usb-storage (i have to for my digital camera since the memory card on it is seen as usb mass storage device). I don't know much about digital video cameras so i'm not sure if that's how it'll be recognized.
The USB modules seem to be working fine: lsmod gives
usb-uhci 21676 0 (unused)
usbcore 58304 1 [usb-storage usb-uhci]
A directory, /mnt/memory_card, has been created, so it's obviously seeing something there. But there's nothing showing in the directory, and nothing seems to have been mounted. mount -l gives
/dev/hda5 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620)
none on /mnt/cdrom type supermount (ro,dev=/dev/hdb,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0)
none on /mnt/floppy type supermount (rw,sync,dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0)
/dev/hda1 on /mnt/windows type vfat (rw,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0) # I know, it's embarrassing!
So presumably I need to mount something manually, but which device? USB doesn't seem to work the same way as ordinary devices. I've tried googling around this, but the pages that come up just confuse me even more.
Anyone want to help out the eternal newbie?

also look in mandrake control center's hardware / hardware list and see if you can see it listed there (possibly under other/unknown) and see if there's any info about it. then you need to find out what the /dev entry is (i don't remember for the life of me where i've seen how and haven't added hardware in so long i forgot)
Anyone? how DO you know what /dev entry hardware uses?
not sure what kind of filesystem it'd use but i'd venture a guess that it's vfat if it's a mass storage device that windoze reads.
now for my camera i'd (as root)
mkdir /mnt/camera
modprobe usb-storage
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
