Can YOU help me? I have problem with mounting Kingston 512MB Pen Drive. DSL ask me to specify a file system of pen drive and I do not know the syntax. It goes like this:

me as root: mount -rw /dev/sda /mnt/sda - in other Debian linuxes it works

and it syas:

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

How can I do it?

usually I use

mount /dev/sda1 mnt/sda1

To make sure that it is sda1 you can type cat /etc/fstab before you plug in your drive. Than plug it in, wait a few seconds and type cat /etc/fstab again and note the difference. Hope this helps.

Whole thing is not about a port I use - /dev/sda or /dev/sda1
It is about "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" and I really do not know how to specify it. HELP

For most pendrives, the filesystem of choice is:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
