I am trying to mount my USB thumb drive. Here is my fstab:
LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/home1 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-sda4 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbdrive auto defaults,users.noauto 0 0
I have created "/mnt/usbdrive" and "/dev/sdc" is listed in system -> administration -> hardware. The drive is listed as "fat16" I have also tried in the terminal:
$ sudo mount fat /dev/sdc mount: you must specify the filesystem type $ sudo mount fat16 /dev/sdc mount: you must specify the filesystem type
I have tried to mount my HFS+ partition on my second SATA drive with the same result, when I used "hfsplus" as fs type. Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
Brian

mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /mnt/usbdrive
Note if it's a partition rather than a full drive image you'd need /dev/sdc1 for partition 1. cat /proc/partitions or parted /dev/sdc print to check (fdisk won't understand Mac disk labels)

mount -t hfsplus /dev/... /mnt/somewhere
If things aren't working it's likely to be hal/udev/gnome-user-mount fun.

I'm getting errors from hal at boot, but don't know what logs to dig into or where they reside.

Should be filed in bugzilla.redhat.com

Hmmm. Now I don't seem to be getting a hal error anymore. 'sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbdrive" got the USB drive mounted on the desktop. However, when I tried to save a copy of the errors when I tried to mount my hfs+ drive in gedit, I got the following message:
"Could not save the file /mnt/usbdrive/mount_hfsplus.txt
You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please, check that you typed the location correctly and try again."
I had to do a "sudo gedit" before I could save the text. Here is what I got from trying to mount my hfs+ sata hd #2:
"$ sudo mkdir /mnt/osx $ sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdb3 /mnt/osx mount: block device /dev/sdb3 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: cannot mount block device /dev/sdb3 read-only"
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Brian

That's circumventing the automount stuff.

This is as you've mounted it as root, really this should be being automounted and your user would be able to write- please file the bugs against the relevant components. Bugs on lists may not be seen by the appropriate engineers.
Either that or it needs a fsck - check dmesg.

Check dmesg, it may need a fsck.
