hi simon,
that did the trick.
I've managed to mount it on /dev/sda and I see everything there.
thanks for all your help.

Hi Shaun,
It's usually left as a registered scsi device.
If you cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/0
(numbers might be different), then you should see something that says
whether it is attached or not. If it does think it's still attached, then
you're right that something is messed up.
If a second, di
I think I've found part of the problem.
when I pull my usb key,
my hotplug subsystem doesn't recognise that the key has been pulled.
and therefore bitches about it all.

Hi Shaun,
You should be mounting /dev/sda.
Notice the sizes - you have a 256M stick, /dev/sda is 256M, the others are
all ridiculously large (which would upset it).
Cheers,

I actually had some fun with this a while back and asked the list (not
many ppl play with these so it seems).
I found that some devices actually mounted as /dev/sda rather than
choosing an actual partition. Give that a try and see how things go.
(that said, I have others that work when you choo
If your flash drive is unused and you haven't repartitioned it, I recommend
you to repartition/format it under Linux.
Or else try upgrading your kernel.

1 2 3 and 4 are the corresponding paritition number on the USB (block) device.
So it's normally 1 to mount, unless you have partitioned your USB flash

hi,
I've just bought an emation usb flash drive
256 mb
when one plugs it into the system, where is it usually mounted?
or rather where abouts would I expect to mount it,
I have it listed at /dev/sda but I ain't sure if it's 1 2 3 or 4
any help would be greatly appreciated.
