Hello everyone,
I'm having problems accessing my usb pen on my server/local machine. I
have looked on google for advice and followed the instructions on
http://www.k12ltsp.org/phpwiki/index.php/Technical:Storage:USB
here's what happens:
[debbie at localhost debbie]$ su
Password:
[root at localhost debbie]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: USB 2.0 Model: Flash Disk Rev: PROL
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
[root at localhost debbie]# cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage/0
Host scsi0: usb-storage
Vendor: USB 2.0 Flash Disk
Product: USB Mass Storage Device
Serial Number: None
Protocol: 8070i
Transport: Bulk
Quirks:
[root at localhost debbie]# mkdir /tmp/flash
mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/flash': File exists
[root at localhost debbie]# mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/flash
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
Everyone uses these usb pens nowadays so it must be fairly simple to
configure (unless your name is Debbie!).
Any ideas or pointers?
Thanks.
Debbie
