Greetings!
I'm new at this and I'm attempting to mount a USB device on Debian.
When I insert a USB memory stick and then I perform a mount I get an
error message "unknown filesystem type 'vfat'":
mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/
I get the following:
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sda: 254720 512-byte hdwr sectors (130 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1
mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
Forming a fdisk ?l command, however, I see my USB device has
apparently been mounted and should be working:
Disk /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc: 130 MB, 130416640 bytes
8 heads, 34 sectors/track, 936 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 272 * 512 = 139264 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id
System
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 * 1 937 127352 b W95
FAT32
Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(1, 1, 0) logical=(0, 0, 17)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(992, 7, 34) logical=(936, 3, 26)
Question 1: What else am I needing to do to get the vfat filesystem
to be recognized? FAT32 should be fine, I would have expected.
Question 2: Once I get the filesystem to be recognized, where would
I find my USB files? /dev/usb would be nice but would it actually
be /mnt/p1 if it's successfully recognized?
Question 3: Will I ever learn everything there is to know about
Linux and Debian in particular? }:-}
Thanks. I appreciate the help.
