So, it would appear that it is being recognised, but not completely.
What does (as root) fdisk -l AFTER it has been plugged in. If it lists sda1, etc., then try to mount the partition manually.
fdsik -l lists all the drives including the sda1 --> sda4 but for each of the sdas it informs that the starting and ending sectors are not as they should be and "(?non Linux partition)". When I go to mount any one of them nothing happens except that after about 1 monute the whole computer freezes - and only the Red Button (?shades of BSD) breaks the impasse :-(.
Another strange thing with this exercise of doing the tail. I plugged in the flash disk while logged in a normal user then went the CTRL-ALT-F2 way to login as root to do the tail thingie. What was strange is that after the info got printed out to screen I did not return to the normal command prompt but instead the cursor kept blinking on an empty line
Hit Ctl-C to go back to a prompt from running tail. It will give you a running log as long as it is running.
Ah, of course. Thanks :-). Cheers. -- All Scottish food is based on a dare.
