I tried /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb vfat noauto,users 0 0
and when shuting down, it kind of freak out for a second.
The on reboot, I tried the to see if it would still mount:
$ modprobe usb-storage
$mount /mnt/usb/
and while before I use to get a message saying $fs device not supported (or something along those lines)
now I am getting $ mount: No medium found
I know is just a matter of parameters being wrong. Anybody any ideas?

I have run into a similar problem. No real file system on the stick.
Using fdisk on the stick showed multiple file systems.
From the manual (A generic USB 2.0 Flash Drive User Manual) for the stick it gives this procedure. I pasted in the instructions from the pdf.
As root. Do "fdisk" on the Flash Drive with the following command # /sbin/fdisk/ /dev/sda Enter "p" to display the partition table Enter "d" to delete the partition tables one by one Enter "o" to create a new empty DOS partition table Enter "n" to add a new partition Enter "p" to create primary partition Enter "1" for the partition number Press "Enter" two times for all capacities Enter "w" to write table to disk and exit Have the Flash Drive formatted by FAT file system with the command # /sbin/mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 Mount the Flash Drive with the command # mount t vfat /dev/sda1<expected mount point> Mount the Flash Drive with the command # mount -t vfat /dev/sda1<expected mount point>
Now when I say generic, I mean it. There is no mention of the manufacturer or brand in any of the text or graphics in the document.
I got the manual from http://www.apacer.com/apacer_english/support_html/download.asp
and under User Manual select Handy Steno 2.0.
Now this works for this stick but it may not work for yours. -- Robin Laing
