Support for USB thumbdisk has changed in linux-2.5/2.6. In the older kernel, I used to do "modprobe usb-uhci". Now things have changed, and I need to give the following commands:
=== /usr/local/sbin/usbdisk === #!/bin/sh modprobe uhci-hcd modprobe usb-storage mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /usbdisk === end script === You might need to change the "uhci-hcd" to "ohci-hcd" or to "ehci-hcd" depending on the kind of USB hardware that you have. Because of steadily decreasing prices, convenience of use, and portability, thumbdisks are becoming the "in" thing for storage. I predict that soon, floppies, zip-disks, and magneto-optical disks will disappear and be replaced by thumbdisks.
