      You are on the right lines... by TheGreatGonzo 2002-07-24 02:35:54

What happens when you cd /mnt/diskonkey/ ? Can you not see your files?

You need to mount /dev/sdc1, not /dev/sdc, and looking at your fstab entry it looks like Kudzu saw the usb drive at boot and added an entry for it.

On my Nikon Camera, also USB storage device, I just mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt/nikon and I can read/write to the device. If you mount /dev/sdc1 and cannot write to it, are you sure there is no write protection on the keychain device?

You should get an entry in your /var/log/syslog similair to:

Jul 24 10:31:15 lightsaber kernel: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

Check that there are no errors there.
