I don´t think I changed anything. My flashdisk always worked like my cdroms, when I connect it a icon automatically appears on my desktop and it is automatically mounted. No problems. When I removed it, the icon dissapears. Now I can´t get it to supermount. I changed all the settings I could in ¨configure your computer, mount points section¨. I also tried editing my etc/fstab file. Now I must explicidly mount it each time at ¨configure your computer, mount points section¨. And worse, if I try to copy anything to my flashdisk konquerer tells me access denied. Can anyone please help me?

Could you please paste your /etc/fstab file here?

I assume this is your flash drive:
[code]none /mnt/LOLA supermount dev=/dev/sdb1,fs=vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0[code]

try that and see how it goes.[/code]

Shifty

Do you mean change it to:
/none /mnt/LOLA supermount dev=/dev/sdb1,fs=vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0

AlexK

yes

AlexK

yes

Shifty

I just tried that and the situation stays the same?

AlexK

try this, delete the line in fstab concerning the usb flash drive
turn off your computer.
plug in the usb drive,
turn on the computer
see what happens.

I know this sounds like a series of windows style instructions, but thats all i can think of to force Mandriva to redetect the drive with what it thinks should be the correct parameters.

Thanks AlexK that actually worked. Everything is working fine again.
