Flash Drive

[dalian]

So lately, I haven't been able to read my USB flash drives, although it worked just fine a while ago. I connect them, but the device is not mounted.
It's not a slot problem, since it IS able to read, for example, my phone if I connect it via USB.
Is there a package for this, because I think I might have mistakenly removed some.

try "equo conf update" and save changes on config files, reboot. You must do it after updates/upgrades to make new packets work fine.

• Is it detected?

  Code: Select all

  $ tail -f /var/log/messages

• Where is the device?

  Code: Select all

  # fdisk -l

• Create a mountpoint.

  Code: Select all

  # mkdir /mnt/usbdrive
# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick # /dev/sda1 may very depending on fdisk -l's output. see "man mount" for other options

• Append the following line in /etc/fstab to make it bootable after reboot:

  Code: Select all

  /dev/sda1               /mnt/usbstick  vfat            noauto,user,exec        0 0

Some details (esp. mount and fstab) may differ. But you have to provide some information to modify the instructions to your case However, search for "gentoo mount usb" in the web to find HowTos =)
