[SWLUG] U Storage devices

[Stephanos]

Dear All

Mandrakelinux 10.1 (Official)

I am using a USB hub into which I connect a printer, scanner, an external
storage device and now a second external storage device.

I have two external USB storage devices and only one of them is recognised
when I insert it into the USB hub or directly into a USB port on my laptop.

The one that is recognised is identified as \"OTi6828UStorage\". A new icon
appears on the desktop and when I double click the content appears in
Konqueror.  It is mounted at point \"devsda1mntremovable\" and the 
content is
shown in /mnt/removable.  Though this folder is only available when the 
device
is mounted.

My second USB storage device, brand name Disgo, is not recognised at all.

I have looked at the manual but this says that the device should be mounted
automatically.

I tries to mount it manually by first making a directory 
/mnt/removable.  Then
I typed as root "mount auto /dev/sda1/ /mnt/removable".  The response was:
"mount: fs type /dev/sda1/ not supported by kernel".

But of course I would like to mount this as a user as well.

Any help appreciated
