Re: mounting USB pen under 2.6

I've had a look around but can't see how to mount my USB pen under 2.6
(stable). I've just upgraded from 2.4 where I had a line in /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /usbkey vfat users,noauto 0 0
but under 2.6 my first SATA drive in now /dev/sda1 so I'm confused what
I should replace the about line with.

I see from SYSLOG that when I plug the USB pen into the slot:

Apr 5 13:31:30 ratty kernel: sdc: assuming Write Enabled
Apr 5 13:31:30 ratty kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through
Apr 5 13:31:30 ratty kernel: /dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1
Apr 5 13:31:30 ratty kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sdc at scsi2,
channel 0, id 0, lun 0



but trying to mount sdc doesn't work:

michael@ratty:~$ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /usbkey mount: wrong fs
type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

Try:

mount /dev/sdc1 /usbkey

It seems that USB keys have a partition table and the relevant partition is normally 1.
