Hello, |
| 2 |
|

Well I have 2 different usb memory devices and I cannot |
| 4 |
seem to get a fat (or ntfs) file system on them. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I have to manually mount them with this command as coldplug |
| 7 |
does not do it automatically. I have to use: |
| 8 |
'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb' |
| 9 |
Then I can use 'cp' to copy files onto the usb mem device but |
| 10 |
windows can only see the name, not copy files off of the usb |
| 11 |
mem device. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Here's the fstab entries I have tried: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 |
| 16 |
#/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 |
| 17 |
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,user 0 0 |
| 18 |

I need to copy a microsoft (.exe) file from a gentoo (archive) |
| 20 |
to a usb (1.0) memory device so it can be moved to a |
| 21 |
windows pc. I want my gentoo system to auto-sense the usb memory |
| 22 |
device including the file system type and make it so I can use |
| 23 |
cp and other linux programs to copy files over to the windoz |
| 24 |
file system on the usb memory sticks. If I have to I can use |
| 25 |
'mcopy' or other such program on the gentoo system to put |
| 26 |
windows files onto the usb mem device, when it is plugged |
| 27 |
into the gentoo system. |
| 28 |

Any good wiki's or docs? I've tried to follow several web pages but |
| 30 |
most are old and none show how to have the fat (ntfs) file |
| 31 |
system automounted upon insertion of the usb sandisk device, |
| 32 |
which comes from a windows 2000 user, into a gentoo system. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
ideas? |
