Funny thing, I just found that out , tonight, on my own.
the text editor has to end on a new blank line before saving and exiting.
If you don't , nothing will be accepted by the mount proceedure and
mount -a
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
is saying just that.
I've had some success , but mandrake's usbreader software
does not like multiple media /appeture readers, but someone
with redhat has got my reader working.

I am struggling with a USB card reader just the same. One thing I have learned is that at the end of fstab you MUST leave one blank line or you will have major system problems...I know I did.

PS, that's what it means by no new line...

I tried,
fstab - automount
=====
with line,
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/reader vfat auto,user,fat=12 0 0
mount -a
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
icon mount,
Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
fstab - automount
=====
with line
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/reader vfat noauto,owner,ro,user 0 0
mount -a
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
icon mount,
Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
fstab - supermount
=====
with line,
/mnt/reader /mnt/reader supermount dev=/dev/sdb1,fs=vfat,exec,--,user,umask=0,fat=12,sync,dev,suid 0 0
mount -a
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
icon mount,
Could not mount device.
The reported error was:

These are only my guesses.Suggestions welcomed.

Our readers require multiple bus addresses, I got mine to access
the first device, but it was not the aperture to the media type
I wanted , ie smartcard reader aperture, and so I failed, I suspect
mandrake kernel does not support multiple aperture readers , as
yet , but I also suspect Redhat does. I think mandrake will have to
follow suit , it's what is wanted. People want multiple reader
devices through one usb port.
Incidentally, my readers is properly identified thus,
cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/0 ( maybe -0/1 , or -1/2 or something like it )
ls
Host scsi0: usb-storage
Vendor: PQI
Product: Travel Flash
Serial Number: 4710765066451
Protocol: Transparent SCSI
Transport: Bulk
GUID: 353800010004710765066451
Attached: 1
Which is not how my M9.0 is currently reading it , but should.
What OS are you on, bye the way.
I suspect we are going to need an updated mandrake kernel
to get all the facility we want, keep me posted of anything
you find out,
Thanks,
John
