Re: cant mount usb stick

/etc/fstab has nothing to do with USB sticks.

Is your USB stick FAT32 or ext2 formatted? If yes, then just insert it in the computer, and the device notifier should pop up and ask you what you want to do with it.

I have killed many a flash stick by formatting to ext2

I have 4 of them with ext2 partitions, configured like this: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3107512.0

I have never observed a failure that seemed to have any relationship to the filesystem type.

Re: cant mount usb stick

Yes, I was merely mentioning it as an (aside). I formatted the USB sticks to ext2 back in the Hardy days because NTFS support (and removable media, for that matter) wasn't as transparent as it is now.

I am not, in any way, condemning formatting a USB stick to ext2.
