USB mount problem
When I plug in my USB on Etch, I get this error from Konqueror after clicking "Open files in file manager".
I run dmesg | tail and I get this:mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
When I mount the drive manually with mount -t auto /dev/sdc1 /media/STICK, it works but then my normal user (uholtz) doesn't have write access to it. I don't know why it's doing this because I make sure I unmount it every time (via Konqueror) when I'm about to remove it.Code:debian:/home/uholtz# dmesg | tail sdc: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sdc: 1003520 512-byte hdwr sectors (514 MB) sdc: Write Protect is off sdc: Mode Sense: 00 00 00 00 sdc: assuming drive cache: write through sdc: sdc1 sd 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdc sd 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 usb-storage: device scan complete FAT: Unrecognized mount option "flush" or missing value
Any help?

Code:mount -t auto /dev/sdc1 /media/STICK -o defaults,umask=0
Check the contents of /etc/fstab file.FAT: Unrecognised mount option "flush" or missing valueIt is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Whether I mount it my way or with your extra parameters it doesn't matter, both work but I don't want to have to mount it manually every time. It used to work that's what's bugging me. Also, I notice that when I mount it manually the auto-mount works. Hard to explain but what I mean is, it usually tries to mount it on a temporary location at /media/sdc1, which doesn't work when I plug it in so I mount it manually on /media/STICK, then only root can write to /media/STICK but once it's mounted there /media/sdc1 works and all users can write to that, as if it auto-mounted like it should. I can't unmount it via konqueror anymore because it complains it can't read hal mtab or something of such sort. There's nothing about sdc... etc. in fstab.
Thanks.

check the contents of /etc/mtab file.

I did that but it doesn't have anything that is related to sdc1 in there...I don't know, I wonder if it could be a udev problem.
