[clug-talk] Flash drive problem

[Richard Carter]

Hi Folks,

I have 2 USB flash drives with details below:

redcube:~# df -Th
Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1     ext3    142G   46G   89G  34% /
tmpfs        tmpfs    976M     0  976M   0% /lib/init/rw
udev         tmpfs     10M  100K   10M   1% /dev
tmpfs        tmpfs    976M     0  976M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdc   iso9660    3.1G  3.1G     0 100% /media/cdrom0
/dev/sda1     vfat    7.7G  8.0K  7.7G   1% /media/PATRIOT
/dev/sdb1     vfat     16G  461M   16G   3% /media/USB DISK

Under kubuntu 9.04 both PATRIOT  and  USB DISK are mounted as read/write so
I am able to copy files to and from either one.  But under debian 5.0 only
PATRIOT is mounted as read/write while USB DISK is mounted as write only so
I am unable to copy file to USB DISK.

I suspect this has something to do with /etc/fstab on the system running
debian but I don't know what I should do so that both flash drives always
mount as read/write on that system.

I realize that this is somewhat related to an earlier thread.  I'm sorry but
I'm a slow learner.
