Re: Speaking of USB (instant USB disk question)
Instead of rw try setting a GID or a UID thus giving that group or user rights to the device. <> On Tue, 2003-03-18 at 10:46, dbrett wrote: > You have to mount the device, like a disc drive. > > Assuming you don't have anyother scsi disc drives mount it it is probably > sda1.

Re: Speaking of USB (instant USB disk question)
Have you been able to allow other users write access to it? I have not had any success. I changed writes and ownership, still only root can write to it. david On Mon, 17 Mar 2003, Rick Johnson wrote: > Richard Crawford wrote: > > Over the weekend, my wife and I purchased a couple of those spiffy USB > > disk pen things that hold 64MB on flash RAM.

Re: Speaking of USB (instant USB disk question)
You have to mount the device, like a disc drive. Assuming you don't have anyother scsi disc drives mount it it is probably sda1. This can be checked in /var/log/messages after you plug it in. You will see something like this in messages file: kernel: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices The next step is to mount the device: I did the following mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb-key (don't forget to create the directory) The only problem I have so far is allowing other users write access to the device. I have changed writes and ownership. I still can only get root to be able to write to the device. david On Mon, 17 Mar 2003, Richard Crawford wrote: > Over the weekend, my wife and I purchased a couple of those spiffy USB > disk pen things that hold 64MB on flash RAM.

I use the Nexdisk version, and after I plug it in, I can mount it with something like: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/pen Actualy, I have an entry in /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /mnt/penvfatnoauto,user 0 0 That way, I can mount it as a normal user. Other brands should work the same way. They use the usb-storage module, and they are accessed like a SCSI hard drive. Externel USB drives and Firewire drives are accessed the same way.

The question is, how do I make my Linux box (running 2.4.0+) talk to the USB pen? I have Googled, but to no avail. Anyone got any pointers? Asuming you're runing RH 7.3 or 8.0+ (earlier may be supported as well) 1. Plug it in. 2. Run dmesg as root, look at the end lines. You'll see a reference about a new device/partition created (/dev/sda if you have no other SCSI devices, and partition /dev/sda1). 3. create a mountpoint - mkdir /mnt/usb 4. mount the device - mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb 5. Enjoy! I've got a 128MB device and enjoy it immensely at work since we have several non-connected networks (don't ask) that I have to transfer files to/from.
