I am trying to mount a USB drive, using this command:
mount -t usbfs /dev/sdb1 /usb
When I list the contents of /usb it says: 001 002 devices
What am I doing wrong?

lol, follow these steps carefully,
1) search the web for usbfs, learn what it is
2) figure out what the actual filesystem of your usb device is (usually fat32, aka vfat)
3) mount using your usb device's actual filesystem

It's fat32 but if I use vfat it says "bad superblock, wrong fs type"

I don't bother naming the filesystem type when mounting my usb, mount figures it out ok so try without a filesystem type
e.g. mount /dev/sdb1 /usb
You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.

either the filesystem is corrupted or it's not a fat filesystem (anymore)
try, as moetunes suggests, mounting without -t option and see if mount can mount on it's own
and if not please give us the output for fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Yes, that works without the fs, thanks!

great! for future reference, enter mount without any arguments to see what filesystem it used to mount the device as
and mark this thread as solved, have a good day ^_^
