RE: [suse-kde] yakumo quicksilver USB 2.0
The reason why the flash memory stick is recognised ad sda1 on one system and sdc1 on the other is that the first machine doesn't have an scsi disk and the second one does. What you see with fdisk -l /dev/sda is you harddisk. If sda is already used by a disk (harddisc, cd recorder) you have to use the next letter. You can always use an USB 2.0 stick because they are backeard compatible the only disadvantage you have is the transfer speed. Usually under SuSe 8.2 with kde when you attach the usb stick on a running system a new line in added to the /etc/fstab file and you don't have to care about the mount name. If this doesn't work you need to check if the directory where you mount it to exists. E.g. /media/sda1 or /media/sdc1 After that you should be able to mount it with mount /media/sdc1 Stefan -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Eckl [mailto:daniel.eckl@gmx.de] Sent: Donnerstag, 14.

I don't know the reason for this, but you can try to create and format partitions under linux and if this works you can try if you can access this partition under WinXP. Daniel Am Donnerstag, 14.

By default when plugin an USB storage device Linux create a user entry for the first partition in /etc/fstab, this entry allow any non root user to mount the device. You can force mount when logged root with "mount /dev/sda4 /mnt" In order to know your usb storage SCSI disk equivalence use "fdisk -l" in order to know which parition use "fdisk -l -u /dev/sda" Now if like me you're lasy, just rebuilt a clean USB storage with only one partition as explain by Stefan, it will then work on both Linux and Windows without any hack.
