Mount USB mp3 flash drive in linux

Distro: Slackware 10.1
Kernel: 2.6.11.7

I want to mount this flash drive.

I've read a couple of "HOWTO's" There is no /dev/sda* devices.

Here is a list of modules loaded:

Code:

Here is the output of tail -s 3 -f /var/log/messages:

Code:

any ideas on how to mount this flash drive?

plug the usb disk in the usb port, then:

#modprobe usb-storage

take a look the dmesg (#dmesg | less) to see where is your new device, it should be something like /dev/sdc0

#mount /dev/sdc0 /mnt

Hope that helps

Hi,thanks for replying promptly.

However, the only devices that start with the letters "S" in /dev/ is 'stderr', 'stdin', and 'stdout' There is no sdc* devices.

But here is some info that i get from dmesg:

Code:

scsi7 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 10
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
  Vendor: Creative  Model: NOMAD MuVo TX     Rev: 1105
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 04
usb-storage: device scan complete
