Hi Samps,
I can't guarantee this'll work for you because every setup seems to be
different but it's worth a try.
Add the following line to the file /etc/fstab
/dev/sda /mnt/usb vfat defaults,noauto,users,sync,umask=0022 0 0
Make sure you have a directory in /mnt called 'usb' and change the
permissions on it so everyone can read & write (I don't know if that's
the correct thing to do but I did it anyway). This worked for me on my
laptop & a PIII running K12ltsp 4.1.0.
see - http://tlug.up.ac.za/csslug/usb_devices.html for more help
and - http://www.k12ltsp.org/phpwiki/index.php/Technical%3AStorage%3AUSB
and search the K12OSN for "USB mount error - not a valid block device".
Calvin Dodge via k12osn gave some good advice which helped sort out my
USB probs.
Hope you get it sorted out. I know it can get frustrating but, in the
short time I've been using K12ltsp, I also know that perseverance pays.
Best regards,
Debbie
