I've just bought a device to let me read MMC cards on my linux box. It seems to be recognised by the system, but I don't know how to mount it. Could anyone tell me how to do this? I've tried the obvious 'mount /dev/sda /home/john/MMC', together with '-t vfat' instead to no avail.
Try:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /<path to wherever>
and I think you'll get a smile..... :-)
I'd tried that, too, and trying it again now gives the same results - mount just sits there. top -i gives the following: PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 2675 john 23 0 10432 10M 8372 R 8.5 4.0 0:00 gedit 2569 john 15 0 8940 8936 6804 R 1.7 3.4 0:01 gnome-terminal 2628 john 15 0 976 976 756 R 0.1 0.3 0:00 top 2564 root 24 0 1320 1320 488 D 0.0 0.5 0:00 modprobe 2566 root 15 0 0 0 0 DW 0.0 0.0 0:00 scsi_eh_1 2594 root 15 0 556 556 468 D 0.0 0.2 0:00 mount Which suggests to me that (with a STAT of D) mount has had a serious problem. My USB system is basically OK, because I can sync my Palm device via USB. Admittedly, it sometimes crashes the machine (!) but I'd put this down to something about the new Palm Tungsten, because it had worked for months with no problem with my old Visor.
