usbdevfs is the raw USB device filesystem. It allows you to see
devicesunder /proc/bus/usb if they are detected by your kernel.
what does lsusb tell you?
have you tried 'modprobe usb-storage' as root, and then check 'dmesg'
(then try lsusb again)
incidentally, just saying "it doesn't work" without giving errormessages
makes it harder to help you.
exactly what did you put in your /etc/fstab file?
what command did you use to mount the device?
