Hi,
I've been playing with zenwalk core for a bit and i've been using usb drive to move files to/from it. I have to reboot to a different OS everytime i do this and its starting to get a little annoying.
How do I mount/umount with a usb drive, to access/manipulate its contents?

Insert the drive wait some seconds, and then execute this command:
Code:
dmesg | tail -n 5

You should see 5 lines, one of them containing something resembling this:
Quote:
sd 7:0:0:0: [sdg] Assuming drive cache: write through
sdg: sdg1

So the kernel has assigned in this example the sdg1 device to the USB drive
Now as root:
Code:
mount /dev/sdXX /MyDirectory

Naturally, you have to change the values of sdXX and MyDirectory to those suiting your system.
If you want to make this permanent, you'll have to edit /etc/fstab.

Hi,

At the time of Core 5.0, I did the tests described here :
viewtopic.php?p=82621#p82621
and it was quite effective.

Should still be possible to use in order to perform automounting on latest ZWCore.

Cheers
