Yes I have mounted the USB mass storage, and it is mounted correctly. But when I try to save files I get an error saying "error output file". Moreover, when I plug this flash in windows and write some files there, and the plug it in linux it is again mounted correctly, but the stored files (from windows) don't appear to me!!!!!!!! -----Original Message----- From: Barry L.

Have you mounted the USB storage device? When you plug it in you should see entries in /var/log/messages that indicate that the device has been located. I have a USB connected flash card reader for my camera memory and to actually use it, I do: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash (where /mnt/flash is a directory I created as a mount point). Before disconnecting the device I type: umount /mnt/flash to ensure that everything has been written out. If this information doesn't get you going then repost and add more detailed descriptions about what you've tried.
