I have a 128 Mb memory stick from a Sony camera. hwinfo can see the stick and its geometry as a "disk". However, mount requests that I specify a file system type. I have no idea what the format is. I have tried fat, vfat, msdos, umsdos, but none work. I even tried autofs and got the mount help print out. Any ideas appreciated. Ed Harrison

Why don't you show us the messages that show up in /var/log/messages when you plug in the reader? -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

I have two different memory sticks that I use. I also have problems when inserting and found that if you plug/unplug the memory stick at least three times if will finally recognize the partitions and let you mount it. The drive will either be /dev/sda1 -or- /dev/sdb1. You need to check using dmesg or by looking in your messages file. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998

dmesg says mount is aborting, but /dev/sdd1 did mount and the images are viewable. Thanks. Ed Harrison
I noticed the same strange behaviour with firewire HD. plug/unplug a few times and then it finaly works... Thomas Ken Schneider wrote:
