Hi, I hope someone can help. I run a lab of RedHat Linux machines and want to be able to let the students mount their USB pen drives. I got a 512 MB drive, and this worked fine: an entry was made in /etc/fstab, and I mounted it (as the user that was logged in), using 'mount /mnt/diskonkey'. mount shows this: /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/diskonkey type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev) I gor another USB pen drive (128MB), but when I insert this, no entry is made in /etc/fstab. I am, however, able to mount it as root, by giving the command 'mount -t vfat /dev/sda1(or /dev/sdb1 I can't remember) /mnta' Any help appreciated.
