mounting flash drives

Greetings.

I'm running SPro 9.2, and have a Dell Inspiron 9100 running fine. In its
single PC Card slot, I've inserted a Sony Memory Card reader and have a
128Mb memory card in it. DMESG reports that it sees this 128M memory stick
identified as /dev/hde1.

So, I've mounted it as FAT16 fs, but can't see anything on the memory stick
which is a collection of .jpg images. I can get to it fine when the laptop
is rebooted under Windows.

Any idea why I can't see the images after mounting the device?

Thanks, Jeff

Are you sure about the file system on the memory stick?
Can you see files when you are root?

I have Sony Memory Card Reader too and i mount :
mount -v vfat /dev/sde /mnt for example and it works on SuSE 10.0 and it was
same on 9.2.

for some reason, I had to use the -t option instead of -v to specify the
vfat type, but it worked great.

Yes, it showed as FAT16 in Windows, so I tried FAT16 in the fs. The other
person's sugestion of vfat worked great.

Thnaks, Jeff

Please read the mount man pages, '-v' means verbose.
