Mounting USB Flash Drive on Fedora

[Yohhan]

How do I mount my 128 MB USB flash drive on Fedora? I looked under /dev/usb but there were quite a few devices listed there.

Here is a good article on it:

You can't just plug it in?
Oh right, this is Linux.
Sorry.

You will need to edit yout /fstab file

Here is how I would do it
as root...$vi /etc/fstab

Now create a entry similar to the below.This assumes your device is named/recognized as /dev/sda1

/dev/sda /mnt/usb_drive vfat noauto,rw,kudzu 0 0

the /mnt/usb_drive can named whatever i.e /mnt/fooboo,
vfat depends on file type if you share the drive between windows and linux vfat is the way to go. Otherwise ext3 ,rfs etc.

Pm me if need be.

With SuSE 9.1, just plug it in.

That's a really bad troll.

Fedora might do it automaticly, or not. Not sure about it, because I don't have a flash drive, unfortunately.

Maybe I'll have to get one.

but check out this article to make the autofs service detect it and automount it for all your users.

Hopefully with Fedora Core2 they have that set up automaticly.

BTW, under Linux the USB drives are all treated as SCSI devices, so it should go to the next open one.

Which should be /dev/sba1, or maybe /dev/sba

I can, if you can't something must be misconfigured.
