Wrong block device when trying to mount a usb flash drive
Hello,
When I try to mount my flash drive I got the following message:
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
Then I asked myself if I had the right device. While trying to find
what could be the right device, I found that maybe my system got the
wrong usb driver by taking a look at /proc/bus/usb/devices:
T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2
B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.06

I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=06 Prot=50 Driver=ub
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
If my system got the wrong driver how can I point to the right one which
I think should be usb-storage?
If I have the right driver then how can I find on which device to mount
it?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bernard
