Hello,
Well I have 2 different usb memory devices and I cannot
seem to get a fat (or ntfs) file system on them.
I have to manually mount them with this command as coldplug
does not do it automatically. I have to use:
'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb'
Then I can use 'cp' to copy files onto the usb mem device but
windows can only see the name, not copy files off of the usb
mem device.
Here's the fstab entries I have tried:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
#/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbautonoauto,user,sync 0 0
/dev/sda1/mnt/usbautonoauto,user 0 0
I need to copy a microsoft (.exe) file from a gentoo (archive)
to a usb (1.0) memory device so it can be moved to a
windows pc. I want my gentoo system to auto-sense the usb memory
device including the file system type and make it so I can use
cp and other linux programs to copy files over to the windoz
file system on the usb memory sticks. If I have to I can use
'mcopy' or other such program on the gentoo system to put
windows files onto the usb mem device, when it is plugged
into the gentoo system.
Any good wiki's or docs? I've tried to follow several web pages but
most are old and none show how to have the fat (ntfs) file
system automounted upon insertion of the usb sandisk device,
which comes from a windows 2000 user, into a gentoo system.
ideas?

Hi,
Tranfering data Linux-Windows through USB-stick works for me.
First i've put FAT32 filesystem on USB, using some HP 'win' program.
Windows reads/writes the data w/o problems.
Linux automounts the stick (with 'vfat' fs) using dbus-hal-ivman trio.
Don't have any settings (for USB) in my /etc/fstab.
PS: don't forget to eject the Media before taking it out, both LinWin.
