RE: how to mount USB pen drive

If you do not see any usb activity from /var/log/messages after you plug in the pen drive,
then it might be the case that the kernel does not know about the device. In this case you need
To do some kernel stuff like get a new one or recompile.

Hi techies..
Can anyone tell how to mount USB pen drive on
Red Hat 8.0 and SCO 5.
Please tell.

Hello there.

I don't know how to do that on a SCO5, but as this is an Red Hat list,
perhaps I can help you on the Red Hat's case.

After you've plugged the pen drive, run a "fdisk -l" command to see if
a new scsi device (like /dev/sda or /dev/sdb) was correctly created.
For instance, if /dev/sdb was assigned for the new plugged pen drive,
and assumes that it has only one partition, try to mount the /dev/sdb1
(as root), like:

# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

If you can properly mount and the data is acessible, it's done. Don't
forget to umount the device (not phisically, but using "umount /mnt")
before taking it off.

Regards.


tail -f /var/log/messages when plugin in the pendrive might help you out to realise if a new interface was created.

Manuel.
