[clug] Trouble mounting USB drive partitions

[Edgecombe, Scott]

Brendan,

What sort of devices are your USB devices? Are they all block devices,
that is, disks? You can look in /proc/bus/usb/devices to see if your
device have been seen by the kernel drivers.

You may need to get an alternative usb driver for specific types of
devices.

Cheers

Scott

Got these entries in /etc/fstab :-

/dev/sda1  /mnt/usbhd1  vfat noauto,user,rw,syc 0 0
/dev/sda1  /mnt/usbhd2  vfat noauto,user,rw,syc 0 0
/dev/sda3  /mnt/usbhd3  vfat noauto,user,rw,syc 0 0
/dev/sda4  /mnt/usbhd4  vfat noauto,user,rw,syc 0 0

And I can issue 'mount /mnt/usbhd1' and 'mount /mnt/usbhd2' and all
works
fine but when issuing 'mount /mnt/usbhd3' I get error 'mount : /dev/sda3
is
not a valid block device' and the same for 4. Same result with 'mount -t
vfat /dev/sda3 /mnt/usbhd3' and 4. /mnt/usbhd3 and 4 do exist. Anybody
got a
heads up.
