Re: [Emc-users] USB flash drive issue

Danny, In Debian Wheezy (and I believe most other linux distributions) you have to mount the USB once you connect it to the computer. It does not automatically mount. When you bring up the file manager. It is mounting the drive. That is what I think is happening anyway. Jim On 5/12/2016

I have trouble with the USB drive too, but different. If I plug into the drive and try to load, LinuxCNC doesn't see any files. If you browse File Manager to the drive even once, then there's no problem, all the flash drive data is available. This is kind of annoying, the design stuff is on
