[Debian sarge]: using the USB key.

Post by cheikhbouchihda »

Hello,
I have an USB key that "works" very well under Windows XP and Linux Mandriva 2006 but when I want to use it with Debian sarge, I've done the following things:

Code: Select all

#apt-get install usbutils

(installation of usbutils packets).

Code: Select all

#apt-get install usbmgr

(installation of the usbmgr packets).
Those installations were done without problem.
Well, when I have done:

Code: Select all

#lsusb
I get some lines, and there's one that discribe my USB key.
To mount my famous key, I've done:

Code: Select all

#mkdir /mnt/cle_usb 


#mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/cle_usb


Moreover, to have this USB key mouted automatically at the boot of the system, I've added the folowing line at the /etc/fstab/ :

Code: Select all

/dev/sda1 /mnt/cle_usb vfat defaults,rw,user,noauto 0 0


But, when I try to list what contain the key, like this :

Code: Select all

$ls /mnt/cle_usb
I obtain nothing. That is wrong, evidently.
My question: what must do, in order that I can use my USB key with Debian sarge?
Thanks in advence for the help
