In an older release of RH (7.2 or 7.3): 1.) The device was recognized on system init (/dev/sda1) 2.) I made modification to /etc/fstab for (/dev/sda1) 3.) mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/firelite Everything was in order. In RH8.0, the device does not seem to be recognized and steps 2 and 3 do not work... which make sense since the system does not see the drive as /dev/sda1... I found a script that rescans the scsi bus and adds the device, then the mount command works fine... This does not seem like the proper way... plus having to be root to run the script because of the files it manipulates is not the way I would prefer to go... There must be an easier way to do this... on sys init... and not having to be root...
