Looks like you got the spaces fscked up here. You need one between vfat and /dev... Also, make sure you have the card in the right way up - I had an hou'r head scratching before I realised my reader wanted the card inserted 'upside down'! HTH Dylan
Usage: mount -V : print version mount -h : print this help mount : list mounted filesystems mount -l : idem, including volume labels So far the informational part. Next the mounting. The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'. Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted. mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab mount device : mount device at the known place mount directory : mount known device here mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device. One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere: mount --bind olddir newdir or move a subtree: mount --move olddir newdir A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom, or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid . Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options]. For many more details, say man 8 mount . linux:/home/billy #
Geez, I hope we can get it to work. There are pictures of my grandson (7) on this card. ( we live 3000 km apart)
