Cannot detect sda1

[joe_bfstplk]

Have you tried "mount /dev/sda to whatever"? I.e. leaving off the 1.

Just tried it, and it states sda is not a valid block device. Any idea on what is run during bootup to make the USB drive show up as block device sda1?

Thanks!

Still more mounts to try :
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1

You could also try to do:
/etc/init.d/hotplug restart
after plugging it in.

Come to think of it, hotplug working for me might have something to do with the 2.4.24-xfs-fe-dm1-smp kernel I'm using from:

Hi

I've got a 128 mb flash card, but when I try to take a back up of the contents, the copy in progress window just starts counting the number of files and directories. This takes forever and after letting it count this way for about half an hour I abort the process, since something is obviously wrong. I can't use half an hour every time I want to take a backup of my cf card... Any one got any clues as to what might be wromg?
