Re: [opensuse] How to mount USB mass storage device

I'm running S11 without kde or gnome. When I insert a dos-formatted flash drive in my 14-in-one reader, there is no indication that the device is now accessible or what the device name is that I would use in a mount command.

I examined dmesg but found nothing that seemed helpful.

How do I determine the name of the newly plugged-in usb device?

Thanks.

fdisk -l to get the device name or sudo hwinfo --usb will give useful info if fdisk fails and then mount to see if its mounted or to mount it. Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
