RE: [SLE] How To Mount SanDisk CF Card Reader under Suse 8.0?
In case you haven't solved this yet, here is a post from a couple of months ago which pretty well covers it: <snip> Problem: You have a digital camera and a USB card reader....PNY or other brand and would like to have it defined at bootup. Solution: put a "card" in the reader that has at least 1 image on it or is formated, and reboot the 'puter. Login and carefully read the /var/log/messages file......near the end of it. An example of what you're looking for is below, which is what the system "sees" the card reader as. Apr 9 23:37:40 linux kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sdc at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Apr 9 23:37:40 linux kernel: SCSI device sdc: 125185 512-byte hdwr sectors (64 MB) Apr 9 23:37:40 linux kernel: sdc: Write Protect is off Apr 9 23:37:40 linux kernel: sdc: sdc1 Apr 9 23:37:40 linux kernel: WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured Note that on this box, it's sdc1. Make a mount point of your choice. In my case, it's /local2/coolpix, which is on an 18.3G SCSI drive as /local2. Ok....now you're ready to add a line in /etc/fstab, which in my file is: /dev/sdc1 /local2/coolpix vfat ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 Reboot, and in KDE2.2.2 or KDE3.0, you'll have an icon on your desktop for the reader. </snip> Hope that helps!

Mike that sounds really good, but my message file comes up with the message that Write Protect is on. Consequently, I can't delete stuff which means I have to do it via the camera (slow) or use MSwindows (which I'm trying to shake of my dependency for). I wish you or some expert out there could tell me how to get the kernel to switch off write protect. I'm using a USB Belkin SM card reader/writer. I'm using SuSE 8.0 and KDE3.

If you look in /etc/fstab does the line about the card reader go like this: /dev/sda1 /media/flash vfat noauto,user 0 0 If there is /dev/sda1 /media/flash vfat ro,noauto,user 0 0 instead, then remove the "ro" part. Ewan On Mon, 2002-07-01 at 16:05, Eddie Howson wrote:

Thanks for your suggestion, I do have these settings in my fstab but it makes no difference. The details in fstab are of no effect when the state of the device itself is "detected" as write protect on. Eddie On Tuesday 02 July 2002 12:32 am, Ewan Leith wrote:
