Having problems automounting usb in fstab

PrimoTurbo · 2009-01-25 18:00:26

I can mount my usb stick with the command

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb

However when I add

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb

to /etc/fstab it doesn't mount the usb.

What am I doing wrong? Thnx

/dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 1

You need to flesh out your entry in fstab [above is an example]

I acctually already had

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb vfat ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0

but it still doesn't work is there a log file for this I can check why it won't mount it?

Okay I think the problem was the noauto I changed that and it works.

also I changed the line to rw,user,auto however I still cannot create any new files on the usb? Why is this?
