mount /dev/sda1

Nope. If hotplug has assigned it mount point and it's in /etc/fstab, you mount it on that point (in /mnt). If it assigns /dev/sda1 to mountpoint /mnt/sda1, you mount that:
Code Sample
mount /mnt/sda1

You don't mount nodes in /dev.

It shouldn't matter as mount will look it up in /etc/fstab.

But for Gustav's question, I agree with curaga's answer.

If your stick has been recognized on boot, a dir has been created for it in /mnt, and an entry added in /etc/fstab, so you can mount it with only one parameter, and the rest are filled in from fstab.


And if it wasn't recognized during boot? (ie: I plug it afterwards)
How can I make dsl recognize it?

Hotplug will set the mount point when you insert it as long as there's nothing funky happening with the filesystem(s) on it. All you have to do is mount it, use it, umount it, remove it.
