    Hi,
    Sorry to bother you but I am confused about usb connections.
    My Anypak 20GB drive auto-connected whenever I plugged it in.
    That is to say, Konqueror auto-openned a new window showing
    the top directory of the drive.
    This morning it suddenly refuses to open; and the entry which
    SuSE had previously automatically entered into /media has gone.
    The only "reason/cause" I can think of is my attempting to get
    my scanner working, but I don't think I touched anything around
    my drive entry.
    My fstab is:

    /dev/hde2 / reiserfs
    /dev/hdf2 /data1 auto noauto,user 0 0
    /dev/hde1 swap swap pri=42 0 0
    /dev/hdf1 swap swap pri=42 0 0
    devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
    proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
    usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
    sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
    /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs (snip)
    /dev/dvdrecorder /media/dvdrecorder subfs (snip)
    /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs (snip)
    /dev/sda /media/anypak vfat noauto,user 0 0

    Related:
    My 64 MB flash stick does not auto-load now, and could not connect
    via the /media directory; however after booting while plugged in
    this drive became visible, but not the 20GB Anypak.

    I already feel guilty that I've stuffed up something :-(
    Thanks for any helpful pointers.
    Colin
