use of udisk

[Corey Kovacs]

Margaret,

Like Mark I am unfamiliar with "udisks" but a quick Googling seems to
indicate that it's a usb device?

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/udisks

If that is the case, you may need to load the "usb-storage" module
(modprobe usb-storage).

If this is in fact a usb device, then the system will see it, but not the
partitions which seems to be the behavior you are describing.

I hope this helps!

Corey
