Hello,
I am very very new to linux and I’m having trouble finding a solution to my problem with my usb device - when I insert my usb drive into a port, I am able to mount and view its contents while logged on as root, but when I switch over to my user account (which I normally operate in), I am unable to mount the device.
From what I have been reading, there are some things I can do in /dev/ and then extensions such as sbd, and so forth that I can mess around with (I haven’t), but I wouldn’t know where to start or if I’m even in the right place. I appreciate all help, thanks.

I made a new directory called flash on my desktop like the “cool solutions” article says.
Here’s what’s happening:
linux-zfpd:/home/brandon/Desktop # echo “/dev/sdb1 /home/brandon/Desktop/flash vfat users,noauto,uid=brandon,gid=users 0 0” >>
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline’
Any suggestions?
