[ltp] Re: mounting CF card

[Marcus Horstmann]

Works without problems for me (RH 7.3).
- do a 'tail -f' on your message file (e.g. '/var/log/messages')
- insert your CF-Card
- look at the output to see as which hd-device it is found (for me its hde)
- do a mount on that device as 'vfat' filesystem.

thats it.

my output looks as this:
Apr 15 12:31:20 titan cardmgr[835]: initializing socket 0
Apr 15 12:31:20 titan cardmgr[835]: socket 0: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk

Apr 15 12:31:28 titan kernel:  hde: hde1
Apr 15 12:31:28 titan kernel:  hde: hde1

and an entry in fstab looks like this:

/dev/hde1               /mnt/cf                 vfat 
noauto,owner,user,rw 0 0



So you maybe add ide-cs to your kernal (as module or compiled in).

    Hope that helps
