Title: Mount Usb Disk? (6000, 1.1.0beta1)
Post by: rrnwexec on January 15, 2006, 12:53:54 am

Has anyone successfully mounted a USB disk with 1.1.0beta1 on a 6000? I am trying to attach either a thumb drive, or an external USB pocket drive, so far without success.

Any instructions/guidance appreciated.

Thanks,
Randall.

OK!

Put your USB driver and wait about 15 seconds, and type this commands:

$ dmesg | tail -n 50
$ lsusb


And post the results

Mine comes up as /dev/sda and is FAT formatted, so:

Code: [Select]

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
mounts it to /mnt/usb (or wherever you want it mounted)

I am using RC12 on SL6000, but it should work just as well. dmesg shows the device info a while after it is connected - I don't have lsusb.
