Mounting USB pendrive problem

[Stephen Liu]

Hi folks,

FC5_64

Previously whenever a pendrive was plugged in, it can be detected and
mounted automatically.  Starting Konqueror, files can be retrieved but
can't be saved on the pendrive.  Unless umount the pendrive and remount
it on Konsole as root, then files can be retrieved and saved on it on
Konqueror (started as root).


I need to save files on pendrive then I took following steps;

edited /etc/sudoers on kedit adding following line on it;
satimis ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb

and created
# mkdir /media/usb

On running;
$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb

A warning popup.  Unfortunately I haven't taken it down.  From that
time onwards pendrives plugged in can't detected and mounted
automatically anymore, except the pendrive used for above test.

On Knosole
# fdisk -l
can't detect the pendrive but can detect the pendrive used for test.

# fdisk -l
....
.....
Disk /dev/sdb: 127 MB, 127139840 bytes
4 heads, 61 sectors/track, 1017 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 244 * 512 = 124928 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1               1        1017      124043+  83  Linux
 * end *

This pendrive has only a single partition using the complete storage
space, 128M.


On booting the abovementioned warning scrolled on screen but I can't
take it down because moving too swiftly.

I tried reading /var/log/bootlog, message, etc. and could not discover
it.

Pleae advise which file holds the scrolling message at booting and how
to fix the problem.  TIA
