USB flashdisk

[Shifty]

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:

none /mnt/LOLA supermount dev=/dev/sdb1,fs=vfat,--,umask=0,user,sync 0 0

[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.
