Re: Mounting USB devices
Now it appears that I have the drives identified correctly and setup in
/etc/fstab, but when I try to mount I get the following:
root@salmander:/home/trey# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
mount: No medium found
I know the card is good, and I even tried another card and got the same
result.
Any ideas?
