Ubuntu 10.10 USB drive not showing












1















USB is detecting but not showing the drives or mount details.



Nothing there inside my /media folder and /mnt folder.



I already enabled automatic mount and give privilege to user also.



My sudo fdisk -l shows like:



Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000d3ba7



Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 29637 238053376 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 29637 30402 6142977 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 29637 30402 6142976 82 Linux swap / Solaris


Any idea?

  • are you sure that this is all that appears from sudo fdisk -l? try connecting the drive then type sudo fdisk -l, wait untill you see the "$" sign again. It may take more than 5 minutes. ... I also want you to do something else... open a terminal, type ls /dev/ | grep sd then connect the drive then wait about 10 seconds then type ls /dev/ | grep sd again and post the results.

Could you check the contents of /media? Also start a terminal session and type in the following:



tail -f /var/log/syslog


Then insert a USB key. In the output that is displayed you'll see a line like this hopefully:



Mar 26 11:43:45 dt-ca-its-linux01 kernel: [11512.782402]  sdb: sdb1


The /media directory now also shows this:



user@linux01:/media$ ls


5F07-50A5 <- This is the USB key.



Let us know if any of this shows up and then we'll work on the issues from there.
