[aklug] Re: Confused -- manually mounting usb in Debian

Try this after it shows up as /dev/sdc1 or what yours is
cd /media/ or /mnt/ whichever you use
mkdir usbflash
mount /dev/sdc1/ /mnt/usbflash/

if that gives you an error let me know if it works then
edit /etc/fstab and add the following line
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbflash vfat noauto,users,rw,umask=0 0 0

then it should auto mount every time you insert the flash drive in the
computer
