Re: Assessing USB Mass Storage devices

Looks to me like the fstab entry is funny. Try two things...

first:

>mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera

if successful then add:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera  msdos   defaults    0 0

to fstab and that should do the trick.

Note that during bootup the, fstab will try to mount /dev/sda1 and error
out if the camera is not attached. Just ignore the error.
