(It's been a while since last posting here anyway) You can see the list of available partitions using fdisk -l /dev/sda. Then try mouting it by hand first (as root): mount /dev/sdaX /media/usbdrive. If that works, then edit your fstab (just faster by hand :)). Also check syslog for mount errors (check in real time using: tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal) Good luck Philippe De Ryck -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

SOLVED: mount pendrive fstab entry ?
Thanks works perfect now. ##Oh crap, ##ignore my last message, didn't see this one ##Philippe De Ryck Thank you anyway Philippe for the input. That's why the Debian community is truely the most helpful and knowedgeable. One of the main reasons why I didn't bother with Slackware any longer. It was the missing link in /media as simple as that. My user was in plugdev and all that was needed after creating the symlink (is this the right word?) was to make it accessible under Disks in root, entering the path. Though I have no clue how to do this without this gui utility.

Automount used to work but broke a long while ago, meaning don't remember anymore when and what led up to it. Possibly kernel upgrade. hmm ... so you are actually using Ubuntu. Anyway, if you are using /etc/fstab to mount your usb stick, make sure your usb stick gets detected as the appropriate device. When you connect your stick to the USB port, what messages you get in /var/log/syslog? Give this command: $ tail -n 25 -f /var/log/syslog and then insert the usb stick and watch what you get on the terminal output and paste it here. Second, I was under the impression that you actually wanted a plug-and-play sort of thing. That is, plug in the usb stick and it's icon is shown automatically on the desktop. Is this so? If so, then are you a member of the plugdev group? What version of udev and gnome-volume-manager do you have? -HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
