William,
As root I make a /mnt/thumb mount point, then add the following line to
/etc/fstab:
/dev/sda /mnt/thumb vfat noauto,user 0 0
Mine is a Sony 256MB Microvault USB 2.0. I call it a "thumb drive", hence
the naming of my mount point. For reasons I'm not at all clear about, it
mounts as a simple SCSI device without partitions -- just /dev/sda. Once
you mount it (as yourself, not root), you can begin using it immediately
without formatting or any other preparation. It's a great way to share
files between dissimilar computers. Everything understands VFAT.
Be sure to 'umount /mnt/thumb' before disconnecting yours from the USB port.
Hope this helps.
