How do I mount my USB stick?

Hi,

Im running Arch Noodle, with gnome desktop.

How do I mount my USB stick?

I would also like to make settings so it automounts each time I plug it in.

Sincerely, Jørgen

Re: How do I mount my USB stick?

first, you need the module usb_storage to be loaded:
modprobe usb_storage
If not already done, add your sdX-device to your fstab, e.g.
/dev/sdXY /mount/point vfat user,noauto 0 0

that should do it

Edit /etc/fstab according to your usb drive:

 
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0

something like that
now mount with 'mount /mnt/usb'

For automounting in gnome, install 'dbus' and 'hal' and add them to the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf.
