USB drives not mounted properly
Hi all. I upgraded to Natty (when everything was working fine) but since then Ubuntu refuses to automatically mount USB storage devices, and the manual mount doesn't let me write to disk. The USB flash drive I have works on my Ubuntu (Natty) netbook and on my XP installation on my desktop (so there's nothing wrong with the device or computer), but nothing happens when I plug it in on my desktop - the mouse works fine!
I can force with
lee@lee-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sde1 /media/usbflsh
I can't eject them via nautilus, I have to umount, which only works sometimes, but I cannot write.
PLLLLLLEEEEEEEE
PLEASE can someone with a bit of experience HELP?!!!!
I've ran this:
lee@lee-desktop:~$ sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: LABEL="2nd1" UUID="50F45961F
/dev/sda3: LABEL="2nd2" UUID="01C6A9EAB
/dev/sda5: UUID="be06f940-
/dev/sda6: UUID="5f96f190-
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="Windows" UUID="E434FC733
/dev/sdc1: LABEL="New Volume" UUID="5276E6997
/dev/sdd1: UUID="ACA4E9EFA
/dev/sde1: UUID="901E-2C40" TYPE="vfat"
The last two entries are my external HDD and USB flash drive respectively.
FStab (Which I DO NOT understand) looks like this
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
#Entry for /dev/sda5 :
UUID=be06f940-
#Entry for /dev/sda1 :
UUID=50F45961F4
#Entry for /dev/sda3 :
UUID=01C6A9EAB5
#Entry for /dev/sdc1 :
UUID=5276E69976
#Entry for /dev/sdb1 :
UUID=E434FC7334
#Entry for /dev/sdd1 :
UUID=ACA4E9EFA4
#Entry for /dev/sda6 :
UUID=5f96f190-
When I try to click on unmount it doesn;t - it just gives me this error message
"umount: /media/usb0 is not in the fstab (and you are not root)"
