Other Help Topics :: can't not mount usbdrive

i deleted the extras but it still keep comming back. Are there any hot fix? I need to use usbdrive

The extras do not prevent mounting the drive. Note that USB 2.0 is not supported in the kernel used by DSL. The only time I have seen "not a valid block device" was trying to mount a 2.0 or when plugging and unplugging or swaping with another usb drive. Sometimes that will cause the system to want to use /dev/sdb1

If you really want to hack a system file then: Edit /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig Search for usbdrive. There should be three lines concerning the usbdrive. Add an "if fi" statement around those three lines...

if [ ! -d /mnt/usbdrive ] ; then
new ...
echo ...
mkdir ...
fi

As, I have said this is corrected in the next release.

I tried /dev/sdb1 but no luck
Thanks for point me out to /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
I will give a try with my little C skill.
