The setting that I have in the first line enables me to access the flash
card reader as any standard fat file system.
Hi Marc,
My problem is: I don't know which device to mount. That's why I included all those details. However, because the subject line is wrong and my details were *after* my signature, I resent the mail.
Do you know which device to mount?
Guus.
The settings do not
automatically mount the reader at system boot, thus I need to do so either by the command line or using the Gnome desktop right mouse button "Disks" submenu. This approach makes more sense with removable media.
You need to create the mount point in /mnt of course, which is done as 'root'. Basically in a terminal window as root: mkdir /mnt/flash
Once you mount it (by whatever approach you prefer), there should be an icon that appears on the desktop that you can click on and access the flash card. Alternatively, you can just open a Nautilus window and browse to /mnt/flash (in my case).
Part of the fine tuning may depend upon how many USB slots you have and which one you have the card reader connected to. That would likely effect the choice of the '/dev/sdb1' or a different setting in fstab or in your command line mount command.
You might to use Google to search for your particular card reader model to see if others have posted any experience with using it under Linux. That might offer some particular hints and gotchas. Also, checking the manufacturer's site might help, as I have found some with FAQs for using their device under Linux.
HTH,
Marc
