USB stick (Canyon & SanDisk)

[stealth.us]

Hello.

I am trying to connect my USB sticks on computer, but I have no luck. I have tried to run it with editing /etc/fstab (/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick vfat defaults, user, noauto, showexec, umask=022 0 0) but it did not want to mount.Here is info I get with kinfocenter:

And this is the info if I run: lsusb:


Bus 001 Device 019: ID 0781:5150 SanDisk Corp. SDCZ2 Cruzer Mini Flash Drive (thin)



Is there any way of fixing this problem?

Thank you very much!

I never use fstab. I usually just mount stuff manually. Try
# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick instead of messing with fstab and just typing mount /dev/sda1. Also, post any errors mount gives you.

[stealth.us]

It gives me this error: mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device.

I have also noticed that when I plug it in, light flashes 2times, something familiar happens with processor status light.

[Kowood]

Then the usb stick is not at /dev/sda1.
#ls /dev/sd* and post it. While you're at it, post the entire output of lsusb as well.

What I'm thinking is that it might not be at /dev/sda1. You might try sdb1, sdc1, etc.

[stealth.us]

I have tried to mount /dev/sda1 -> /dev/sdh1 and I always get this reply: mount: /dev/sd(a->h)1 is not a valid block device
All others /dev/sdi1 -> say: mount: special device /dev/sdj1 does not exist

Here is info I got with tail - f /var/log/messages :
Feb 14 08:49:58 tim_box kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7

[nad]

Your messages should include a device that the filesystem has been assigned to (usually /dev/sda1, possibly /dev/uba1 depending on your version of knoppix and how you are running it) as well as the actual bus address, unless, the boot sector of the devices is not recognized or uninitialized (no partitions or filesystems).

Please post your exact mount command and any other particulars.

[stealth.us]

nad: Thank you very much! It worked. I hade to mount /dev/uba1.

[stealth.us]

nad: Thank you very much! It worked. I had to mount /dev/uba1. But this only works once. If if unplug the key and plug in again it stops working and when I try to cd /mnt/usbkljuc it say: Segmentation fault.

In /etc/fstab I add: dev/sda1 /mnt/usbkljuc vfat defaults, user, noauto, showexec, umask=022 0 0

[nad]

Did you unmount the filesystem before removing it?

We still do not know how or what version of knoppix you are using. Version # please as well as live or installed.

The line in fstab is meaningless as it does not refer to your referenced device and no spaces are allowed in the _options_ section.

[stealth.us]

I haven't unmount it before unplug. But if I want to unmount it first it says that device is busy (but only if I have opened it with Konqueror). I have installed the latest version of Knoppix with kernel version 2.6.11.

[nad]

Well... You can't just remove part of a filesystem and not expect an error message.

All modern desktops should include the -l switch in their unmouint scripts. The -l switch detaches a filesystem and allows processes time to clean up before an error is sent.

Even so, you should be certain that no active processes are using the filesystem before you attempt an unmount. Close any open graphical file viewer and cd out of any terminal session that is in the filesystem, then issue the command; umount /mount/point -l .

[iclubs]

hi i have just installed a live version of knoppix live which was spechally made with pre installed biology and genetics software on to my pc,, the live version has all the stuff working including usb date storage flash drive support as well as internet and otheres..

whe i managed to install, i lost the internet connection but iu found how to restore this , however i still know nothing of how to get the usb flash drive working, i plug one in and nothing happens?

i try to look at the drive by clicking on the icon and i get this message:-

Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: only root can mount /dev/sda1 on /mnt/flash

any i deas?... i tryed the manual mountm but i could have got that wrong!.. i dont under sand why on the live edition it worked but after installation it stops working.. please could some body help with making by flash drive to work.

i have looked round the site i thin kthat this data may be help full

Try:

instead of your line:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/flash auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

[iclubs]

the same warnnig biox came up:-

Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: mount point /mnt/flash does not exist..

help

[OErjan]

do (in a console)
sudo mkdir /mnt/flash
then
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0
you need the directory /mnt/flash first.

[iclubs]

i did as you asked, (thanks for you help by the way), i made the directory..

then i entered your mount command and i got this reply telling me how to use the mount command, but since i have all ready put the command in fstab, i dint think i need it, so io tryed to askcess the usb and i got this new error message come up:---


Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

help!!

I simply dont understand why a distro that works as a live, when put onto the hard drive now magically looses things?..

Im willing to try any thing at this stage,, so please kepp the surgestions comming...

thanks every body for your time and help, its appreciated..
