This morning I have installed my computer for a Live CDRom Suse 11.1. Everything seems to work fine except… access to / mounting of the usb stick (Qmotion 1Gb)
What have i done so far:
-
Insert USB stick into usb port of the computer.
>> Red light on usb stick begin to flikker.
>> KDE Device Notifier reports “TWO devices recently plugged in”
>> - Vfat …
>> - Vfat … -
Konquerer → sysinfo:/ shows the usb stick
device - vfat - 1.4 mb - …
device - vfat - 925 mb - … -
Via Yast, System, Partionertool I can see the following data
]harddisk
-/dev/sdc…939.50 mb, USB DISK PRO
|_dev/sdc1…925.xx mb, Win95, FAT, LBA
So far so good and everything goes well. Now the hardest part for me…
**Questions:
- How can i “access” or “mount” the usb stick, so that i am able to read AND write to it, every time insert or remove this usbstick into,from my computer?**
2. Do i need to create a MOUNTPOINT on this partition on my USB stick or not?
3. What are the FSTAB options i need to select
4. Do i need to add something manually to my /etc/fstab file?
This is my current fstab file
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-MAXTOR_6L080J4_664252151267-part1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-MAXTOR_6L080J4_664252151267-part3 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-MAXTOR_6L080J4_664252151267-part2 /boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST330630A_3CK0LGJ9-part1 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
I’ve already read “the man mount” page, but it lacks simple examples how i can apply the mount command to my usbstick challenge.
REMARK!!!
When i booted again from a Open Suse LiveCD VERSION 10.3, i could access the usbstick!!! How is this possible??
Thank you for your time and answers.
