No, on command line you must use ubdc=/dev/sda; ubdc1 on command line never works so do not try it any more in your life with UML. In your case, the pendrive is partitioned (i.e. it has a partition table). In the guest either: mount -t vfat /dev/ubdc1 /mnt/pendrive/ (if the pendrive is partitioned) or mount -t vfat /dev/ubdc /mnt/pendrive/ (if the pendrive is not partitioned) Another possibility, if the pendrive is partitioned, is ubdc=/dev/sda1 on UML command line, so that inside UML /dev/ubdc refers to the 1st partition of your pendrive and you can do in UML: mount -t vfat /dev/ubdc /mnt/pendrive/ (and the pendrive must be already partitioned) > Attempting to mount my pen-drive on the guest system I'm giving the same > result: ~# mount -t vfat /dev/ubdc1 /mnt/pendrive/ > mount: /dev/ubdc1 is not a valid block device > > I don't know now, if it's really possible!!!!! I don't know either. I must say that you have shown considerable patience (which is good) but also that you have been not lucky at all in your choices. You've had an incredible ability in combining all possible mistakes - a deeper knowledge of Unix would have helped however, especially for the permission problem. And I am also pleased of the patience shown by people (Anthony, Christopher and Jeff) who have helped you up to now. I think you should thank them too - they're not paid to support UML users, so they answer as an act of kindness. I can understand however your frustation, and you are starting to see how a mailing list works and its netiquette. I do not expect you to have been born knowing all this, but we all expect people to learn. If you want to take a look, you will find this document enlightening: http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Similar ones can be found by searching for "How to ask smart questions" on Google.
