Double check that you are accessing the correct device. USB drives

Oh yes, my processor is slow now. a df command shows this:
[root@localhost trade]# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

The JetFlash pen is assigned to sdf1. But do I have to assign it to
sdc1
for it to work??
What consequences does this have?

Nope - but you have to use /dev/sdf instead of /dev/sdc if you want
fdisk to tell you anything about the drive. This is why you were
getting the unable to open /dev/sdc error message from fdisk.
Mikkel
Of course!
And this is what now comes out of the woodwork:
fdisk /dev/sdf1 -l
Disk /dev/sdf1: 4089 MB, 4089428992 bytes
126 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1022 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 7812 * 512 = 3999744 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x69737369
This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.
/dev/sdf1 is a partition. /dev/sdf is the device. Try:
# fdisk -l /dev/sdf
(that's "dash ell", by the way). That should show you the partition
table on drive /dev/sdf.
Sorry, my mistake. I don't do these things too often.
[root@localhost par]# /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sdf
Disk /dev/sdf: 4089 MB, 4089445376 bytes
33 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3841 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2079 * 512 = 1064448 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x7ef87cc2
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdf1 1 3842 3993583 b W95 FAT32
But I cannot see any message here that points out what goes wrong -
why it is set to readonly.
There's nothing wrong with the partition from what I can see.
I'm afraid I've purged the previous messsages in this thread (stupid, I
know), but I do have a few questions. I'm sure you've answered them
before, but I don't have the data handy. Bear with me.
1. When you plug the device in, does it automount?
2. If it does automount, run "mount" as root and post the line
regarding that device. It should start with "/dev/sdf1".
3. The system should mount it somewhere in the /media directory.
If it does, did the system choose the mountpoint name or did you
create a directory that it mounts as?
I can try to help you off-list if you wish.
