How to mount usb memory what doesn't mount

[pegamoid]

This is a way to mount usb memory and mp3 usb players what doesn't mount.

Plug the usb memory, open gparted, and select the usb memory in Gparted - Device
Then Verify volume.

The only problem is that you have to do same operation every time you want plug usb memory. If someone knows how to fix for mount auto let us know.

If only the original poster had posted in this topic I'm pretty certain that you would not have received any answer
The Intel regression is unfortunately not just an Ubuntu one but there is no general problem to mount USB drives in Gloria/Jaunty to my knowledge
But I have a problem to mount a memory card for a camera because it is formatted by the camera in a non standard way - Windows can handle it
If you have Windows you may have disconnected the pendrive in Windows without first conducting a "Safe removal of hardware" which is basically unmount
Your mount command is only partially correct
You use sudo for it and then you should know what you are doing - it is possible to create a real mess
To mount with the mount command you must first create a folder to mount in - like /home/your-name/mypendrive
/media can not be used for this - it has to be /media/something
Then you need to know the mount command
-t means that you specify the type - like ext3 or ntfs
FAT is called msdos in this connection
And you mount a partition not the entire drive
So this would be it
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 -t msdos /home/your-name/mypendrive
see man mount

You still write mount /dev/sdb not /dev sdb1
At present this seems to be the error

sudo mount /dev/sdb -t msdos /media/usb

will never work but

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 -t msdos /media/usb

works (I hope )
