I am running SuSE 7.0 and would like to use the USB version of SanDisk ImageMate for transfering pictures from my digital camera. When I try to mount the device I get the following: mount usbdevfs mount: usbdevfs already mounted or /proc/bus/usb busy mount: according to mtab, usbdevfs is already mounted on /proc/bus/usb I have tried to RTFM and found quite a bit of info but do not know how to pull it all together in such a way to mount my drive and get the pictures off of the CompactCard. Any hints on how to get this thing working would be a great help. Thanks, Mike

usbdevfs is not what you want - as the error message says, it's already mounted. You can see for yourself by looking in /proc/bus/usb/ . What you need to do is find the device that your sandisk is associated with, and mount that. Note that you'll need to give a full mount command, as it's highly unlikely that there will already be an entry in fstab for it. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu, fs at suave.net | $ x 15 Full-time WPI Network Tech, Part time Linux/Perl guy | s = (char*)(long)retval; /* ouch */ -- Larry Wall in doio.c from the perl source code
How do I go about finding out what device sandisk is associated with? On Saturday 23 June 2001 10:43, you wrote:
