Hello,

Has anyone successfully set up one of these smartmedia readers? I'm
having trouble mounting the device as root. Possibly the entry in my
/etc/fstab file isn't quite correct:

/dev/sda /mnt/smartmedia auto noauto,user 0 0

(I also tried /dev/sda1 which didn't work either)

When I do "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" I get:

Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: OEI-USB Model: SmartMedia Rev:1.00
Type:
Direct-Access ANSI
SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: IOMEGA Model ZIPCD1024INT-A Rev: 2,0
Type:
CD-ROM ANSI
SCSI revision: 02

Help would be appreciated!

Mike

Two lines are needed.

none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0
dev/sda1 /mnt/smartmedia vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0

Note the differences in the second line from your post. This
allows the user to read/write the media. It is also the correct
way to mount the partition, using the mount point you gave in
your posting.

First, I modified my fstab entry for /dev/sda1. It now mounts perfectly! I
didn't add the line "none /proc/bus/usb, etc" because it's working without
it and I don't want to*things up. Is this line really necessary? I
already have a line that reads "none /proc proc defaults 0 0" I'll add the
line you suggest if it means better performance, reliablity, etc..
Otherwise I'll leave things alone.

Thanks for your help!
