I have the hotplug package and all the modules I think I need to use the Uno USB SmartMedia card reader (usb-storage, usb-ohci, usb-uhci, usbcore). /etc/fstab contains the line:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/card vfat user,noauto 0 0 The device /dev/sda is present whenever the card reader is plugged in, but I need to mount /dev/sda1 in order to get to the files. Whenever I try to do this as a user, I have the problem that /dev/sda1 does not exist. So I have to do this silly routine to make it appear: $ su Password: # mount /dev/sda /mnt/card/ mount: you must specify the filesystem type # ls -l /dev/sd* lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 2004-02-09 13:10 /dev/sda -> scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 34 2004-03-08 16:42 /dev/sda1 -> scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 2004-03-08 16:34 /dev/sdb -> scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc # exit $ mount /mnt/card/ $ mount /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1 on /scratch type ext2 (rw) /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4 on /var type ext3 (rw) usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 on /mnt/card type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=adam) I don't think I should have to do that every time I want to use the card reader -- anyone know what I've set up wrong?
