1 I've been googling and hacking at this for about three hours now.
2
3 Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
4
5 locutus mnt # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/local.rules
6 # This is for my Intelligent Stick USB Memory flash drive
7 BUS=="usb", SYSFS{serial}=="20031112223132-01", NAME="istick", MODE="0666"
8
9 locutus linux # cat /etc/fstab
10 # Intelligent Stick flash drive (UDEV)
11 /dev/istick /mnt/istick vfat defaults,noauto,user,umask=000 0 0
12
13 locutus linux # ll /dev/istick
14 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 21, 1 Jun 9 00:32 /dev/istick
15
16 locutus linux # mount /dev/istick
17 mount: /dev/istick is not a block device
18
19 But after a long night, I tried this and was shocked to see it works:
20
21 locutus linux # ll /dev/sda1
22 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Jun 9 00:32 /dev/sda1
23
24 locutus linux # mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/istick/
25 locutus linux # ls /mnt/istick/
26 MIDI Files pwsafe.key
27
28 So, why doesn't my /dev/istick work?
29 I assume it has to do with that 'b' on /dev/sda1 and the 'c' on /dev/istick
