MORIN changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |yann.morin.1998 at free.fr --- Comment #3 from Yann E. MORIN --- Christophe, I'm a bit surprised that you say that you are "not able to mount an external USB". First, check that the partitions on the device are detected: $ cat /proc/partitions If not, then you are missing a driver in your kernel (unlikely as you said it was "detected"). Next, can you actually mount your USB drive manually, e.g. with: $ mkdir /tmp/test $ mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/test If not, you might be missing support for that filesystem in the kernel. If something was not working so far, then you need to adapt your Linux kernel configuration to enable additional support (be it a driver or a filesystem or both): $ make linux-menuconfig (and then enable the missing pieces) $ make And then restart from the beginning. If everything works so far, then it means you are missing to mount the partitions dynamically. You have to know that block devices are never automounted by the kernel; you need a userspace program for that. Ezequiel provided a list of possible solution to make the partitions mounted automatically. Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
