This is *weird*. I couldn't sudo mount it, I couldn't mount it as root... but on a whim, I pulled up konquerer, which I never use, saw /dev/sdd1, and for the hell of it, went to tools->run shell command, and did a mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/usb... and it worked, no complaints about needing to specify the filesystem type or anything.... mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
