Mount USB stick under /home/storage/usb/ ?

[roel]

Hi,

I am playing around with my new bubba (pictures forthcoming , and I was wondering if I can make Bubba automatically mount a usb stick at /home/storage/usb/ ?

I tried the following:
First I inserted the usb stick in Bubba's usb port, and found this after running 'dmesg' in a terminal:

usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using at91_ohci and address 2
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 2
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
Vendor: Apple Model: iPod Rev: 2.70
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 04
SCSI device sda: 2031872 512-byte hdwr sectors (1040 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 64 00 00 08
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
SCSI device sda: 2031872 512-byte hdwr sectors (1040 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 64 00 00 08
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
sda: sda1
sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda
usb-storage: device scan complete

So I did a 'mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /home/storage/usb' and tried to copy some files from bubba to the usb stick. However, that didn't work. I got an error that I couldn't write to it. Does anyone have a clue how I can fix this?

Another question: can I automatically make Bubba mount the usb stick once I have inserted it?

Thanks in advance, fellow Bubba's!

Can you check persmissions? Did you try to copy the files as root or a a standard user?

Actually, I tried it both as root and normal user. It didn't work. So I guess I did something wrong along the way...

roel,

Does the mount command work? You can list contents of the usb-memory? Could you provide the output of the commands,

Code: Select all

ls -ld /home/storage

and

Code: Select all

cat /proc/mounts

When you have the stick mounted.

And regarding automount of attached usb storage devices. That sure is possible see http://usbmount.alioth.debian.org/ fx.

hi tor,

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, the mount command works (at least, there is not output so I guess it works). After mounting the usb sticjk like described above, this is the output you asked for for both commands:

Code: Select all

bubba:/home/roel# ls -ld /home/storage/
drwxrwxrwx  6 1008 users 4096 Oct 12 10:56 /home/storage/
bubba:/home/roel# ls -ld /home/storage/usb/
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 8192 Jan  1  1970 /home/storage/usb/ 

Code: Select all

bubba:/home/roel# cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / ext3 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0

Thanks!
