I had read the wikipedia articles, but NSLU2 page was excellent. I still cannot mount, I am getting this: $ sudo mount -o codepage=1225,iocharset=iso8859-8,utf8 -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usb mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so -- snip from the end of dmesg -- [420043.556000] usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6 [420043.756000] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [420043.804000] input: HID 1241:1177 as /class/input/input44 [420043.804000] input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [HID 1241:1177] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-1 [420704.856000] usb 3-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 26 [420704.988000] usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [420704.988000] scsi7 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices [420704.988000] usb-storage: device found at 26 [420704.988000] usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning [420709.988000] usb-storage: device scan complete [420709.988000] scsi 7:0:0:0: Direct-Access Generic USB SD Reader 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [420709.988000] scsi 7:0:0:1: Direct-Access Generic USB CF Reader 1.01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [420709.988000] scsi 7:0:0:2: Direct-Access Generic USB SM Reader 1.02 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [420709.988000] scsi 7:0:0:3: Direct-Access Generic USB MS Reader 1.03 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [420710.176000] SCSI device sdb: 1984000 512-byte hdwr sectors (1016 MB) [420710.180000] sdb: Write Protect is off [420710.180000] sdb: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 [420710.180000] sdb: assuming drive cache: write through [420710.180000] SCSI device sdb: 1984000 512-byte hdwr sectors (1016 MB) [420710.180000] sdb: Write Protect is off [420710.180000] sdb: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 [420710.180000] sdb: assuming drive cache: write through [420710.180000] sdb: sdb1 [420710.184000] sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb [420710.184000] sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 [420710.188000] sd 7:0:0:1: Attached scsi removable disk sdc [420710.188000] sd 7:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 [420710.188000] sd 7:0:0:2: Attached scsi removable disk sdd [420710.188000] sd 7:0:0:2: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 [420710.192000] sd 7:0:0:3: Attached scsi removable disk sde [420710.192000] sd 7:0:0:3: Attached scsi generic sg5 type 0 [420951.876000] Unable to load NLS charset cp1225 [420951.876000] FAT: codepage cp1225 not found Might I need to install codepage cp1225? Is that something installable? I am still reviewing the NSLU2 page to see what I can come up with. I have tried narrowing down my options, and found this: $ sudo mount -o codepage=1225 /dev/sdb1 /media/usb mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so $ sudo mount -o /dev/sdb1 /media/usb mount: can't find /media/usb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab $ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb $ So it's the -o that seems to me to have been problematic. Man mount shows me that some -o options must be specified in /etc/fstab to work, however, I cannot specify _all_ the USB keychains that I will ever connect in fstab! I'd like to be able to connect any USB memory and have it 'just work', in fact, the wife demands it! :) Note also that I cannot unmount the device once mounted as above: $ sudo umount -a umount: /home: device is busy umount: /dev: device is busy umount: /proc/bus/usb: device is busy umount: /var/run: device is busy umount: /sys: device is busy umount: /: device is busy Note: I made a mistake... This is an Ubuntu system, not Fedora. I feel like a jerk as this is the second time that I've written to the Fedora list with an Ubuntu problem. I distro hop a lot, and sometimes loose track of what is installed where. I would still appreciate the wisdom of the Fedora gurus, Tom and everybody, and if I deserve a "go bug the Ubuntu list you traitor" then go ahead and flame me. I still need to fix this problem, though!

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
