Hello again. I added the entry to /etc/fstab, rebooted, inserted the key drive, then tried mounting /mnt/jumpdrive, but got the following:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
I looked on the man page for mount, at the filesystem types, but didn't see usb. Is there a different name for it? Thanks again. John
Is the usb key formatted? Why kind of filesystem is on it? USB is not a filetype, is is a connection type. If the key is formatted with fat32, you replace "auto" with "vfat" in /etc/fstab. Formatted in linux, it would most likely be "ext3".
Your best bet is to try to mount the key manually before you try to setup /etc/fstab. You need to know what filesystem is on your key. You may be able to find out with :
#fdisk -l
Look for a /dev/sda entry. You could also check "dmesg" to make sure the key was recognized. Then try to mount it. To specify a type, use the -t option:
#mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/jumpdrive
Good luck,
Vinny
