Default Re: USB mount problem

Can you format the device and give it a different volume name? Maybe you have a windows pc you can do that with?

That didn't help -- it still won't mount. I'll just 're-purpose' that one and use another.

Thank you (very much) for your attention, help, and patience.

Use mtools to set your USB key volume name without needing to reformat it, set the name without any fancy characters (especially not a slash) - I suggest "disk" and then it should mount OK.

I suspect you've somehow named the USB key /foo/bar or whatever.

If you can reformat it, do a man mkfs.vfat and set the volume name when you format the USB key.
