care to describe the error? i suspect it may be hardware error. just post your dmesg after u plug in the hardware device. perhaps do a lsusb -vv and show us the details of the drive? For automatically mounting filesystem, if u are on ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab (just update the fstab file) is one option. Alternatively is automount (and using autofs kernel module) is another option. If u are on linux kernel 3.1.0 (mine) the kernel module is called autofs4, not sure what is the difference, but nevertheless just do a "modprobe autofs" (not default loaded for me): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs On Sat, Oct 22, 2011 at 1:47 AM, Littlefield, Tyler <tyler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello all, > I have a quick question.
