Mounting Twinmos flash drive

Hi Guys,
I'm having difficulty accessing the contents of my TwinMos flash drive, Solaris 10 can't detect the device on my x86 box, while I have no problem accessing from a Kingston flash drive, the twinmos flash drive is giving me a headache. What do I need to do to have Solaris 10 read my TwinMos Drive? I've seen a similar article on how to mount a fat32 filesystem but it wasn't specific with regards to the TwinMos flash drive.
TIA

cN: the N'th disk controller installed in the system
tN: the SCSI TARGET id. Also used for atapi, firewire and usb mass
storage device, but it's always 0. Use to identify a specific disk
device on the disk controller.
dN: the SCSI LUN id. For atapi devices this is 0 for master device,
1 for the slave device. For usb mass storge devices this field could
contain a value > 0 - for example usb flash card readers often
present the slots for the various flash card formats as multiple LUNs. For simple usb flash memory sticks, this should be
LUN 0.
sN: the slice N from the SunOS disk label. On a media without a
disk label, slice 2 can be used to access all of the medias contents. Solaris SPARC supports slices s0 - s7, Solaris x86
slices s0 - s15.
pN: on Solaris x86 only: p0 is the whole disk (similar to slice s2,
when there's no SunOS disk label), p1 - p4 are the four primary
fdisk partitions.
The ":c" suffix assumes the media contains the fat filesystem in
a separate fdisk partition, searches the fdisk partition table for
the first partition containing a fat filesystem, and mounts the
filesystem from that partition. On Solaris x86, instead of using
"p0:c" you could also use one of the p1 - p4 device; but the pN
fdisk slices don't exist on Solaris SPARC.

How to mount USB Flash Drive

Hello again Arch-Linux users,
I always search google very hard and for months (off and on) I search for how to mount a USB Flash Drive. Nothing ever work so I give up than try again months latter. I don't want to give up anymore and that is why I join this forum.
Here are some of the code I found on the net. Some of these commands will only re-mount the entire Arch-Linux running system in /mnt/usbstick.
sudo mount -o rw,noauto,async,user,umask=1000 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
... don't work it only re-mount the entire system
/dev/sda15 /mnt/usbstick vfat user,noauto,unhide 0 0
... don't work... I found nothing inside /mnt/usbstick
mount -t vfat -o rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1001,gid=100,umask=077,iocharset=utf8 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
... don't work... here is the error i get:
mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt/usbstick busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is mounted on /
It strange that most USB mount commands use the operating system partition itself- example: /dev/sda1 as the device for USB device, while others use /dev/cdrom for cd - /dev/dvd for dvd and /dev/fd0 for floppy.
Could someone post the code that will easily mount a usb device under Arch_Linux.
I'm using Arch-Linux core-64 (08-2009)
Thanks in advance

Thanks fsckd,
I needed a rapid reply because I been wasting too much time not getting anything done because I needed to get pass this flash-drive thing. I can now have a secure back-up in my pocket on USB to go. Arch-Linux does it better for what I seen while just dd'ing on disk.
...lsusb
Found it

Thanks demian,
sdb is the location for my single hard-drive machine. I saw it before in my list above but I changed it to sda1 because I knew no better. I had no clue it represent a 2nd hard-drive for LINUX if one is not already present.
This did it for me
Thanks again

Failure to mount a flash drive after updates?

Hey everyone,
I was able to mount flash drives (etc...) for the duration of my install, and sometime in the last week or so I've become unable to do so. Its gotta be because I updated something and I broke it, no idea what or when this happened because I havent tried mounting any media in a while. The flash drive works on other computers and i get this error message from thunar:
Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.17" (uid=1000 pid=3605 comm="exo-mount) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=1108 comm="/usr/sbin/hald)).
Any idea what I could do to fix it?
Thanks for your time.

I see from an older post someone had something simular: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=325121
Suggestions:
* Make sure you are in the 'storage' group still.
* Do the command 'fdisk -l', does the device come up (mine comes up in the /dev/sdb disk and below my main Arch Linux setup)
Hope this helps!

How do I mount a flash drive in Mavericks?

My iMac - 20", mid-2007, Mavericks 10.9.2 - does not recognize a flash drive when it's inserted into the USB port. The drive is functional and has been recently formatted w/ the FAT file system and tested on a Windows 7 laptop. Disk Utility on the iMac also fails to see the drive. Any suggestions?

Have you tried all the USB ports? Other devices?
Does it show up in the System Information display under USB section?
Hold down Option key and select System Information from the Apple menu.

Connection to server fail/Flash drive will not mount

I'm struggling with this issue and hope someone will have some insight these problems I'm having. I'm currently running 10.6.4 on my Mac and all of the sudden I'm unable to connect to my work's servers or mount a flash drive drive. The issue began after I corrected my disk permissions and restarted my computer. On the restart, I got a pop-up for each server I automatically connect to. The pop-up reads:
+*Connection Failed*+
+There was an error connecting to the server "SERVER NAME". Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.+
+If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator.+
At the same time, my flash drive, which has always worked, won't mount on my computer. But, here's the weird thing... I have two external drives connected to my Mac and they work perfectly. My only guess is that they're formated as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and my flash drive is formated as MS-DOS(FAT).
Any ideas as to why these issues are happening? Thanks

Okay, this is just getting ridiculous. Turns out that my Mac will no longer mount a DVD. I'm working on a project in which I'm making a DVD with DVD Studio Pro and the disc burns just fine. However, when I insert to the disc to verify that it was burned correctly I cannot play the DVD.

10.5.1: Unable to mount a USB flash drive.

I've seen this problem posted elsewhere, but so far I have yet to see a solution:
After upgrading my MacBook Pro to 10.5.1, it can no longer mount USB flash drives. They show up in System Profiler as well as the USB Probe tool, but do not show up in Disk Utility (and, obviously, not on the Desktop or listed in /Volumes).
I checked the drives on a co-worker's MBP, also running 10.5, and the problem persisted there. The drives mount and work fine under 10.4, as well as various flavors of Windows. When plugged into the MBPs, the status LEDs light up, so they are getting power, and mice plugged into the USB ports work fine.
So, the problem seems to be specific to mounting a USB flash drive in 10.5/10.5.1. I'm not sure if this is specific to MacBook Pros, or if the issue is the same on all 10.5 machines.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have the USB problem. When I insert my USB memory pen, it flashes then stops. The icon doesn't come up on the Desktop, but the memory shows up on the System Profiler.
My USB telephone responds in Skype, but the sound input and output don't show up in Preferences, and so the phone doesn't work.
My Vodaphone USB internet modem won't connect.
This morning, I have no sound at all.
All these problems are resolved if the computer is restarted with the external source already plugged in, but it's a big hassle and must be solvable............

Mounting flash drives in solaris failsafe mode

Hello all,
Suppose our system has crashed and we cannot login in solaris normal mod. But we need the data.
I have done the following exercises to take the back up of the file system.
1:- logged in fail safe mode.
2:- mounted the file system in to a mount point.
3:- took the backup of the file system using cpio command as /a/man.back.
4:- tried this command "mount -F pcfs /dev/c4t0d0p0:1 /a/flash" to mount the flash drive. But it failed.
How can we mount the flash drive in fail safe mode?
or, Is there any other way to take the backup of the file system to an external device to restore after re-installing the OS.
I would greatly appreciate it, if you could help me to rectify this problem.
Thank You
Regards,
Sajan.

Thanks, macbig...no joy yet, but definitely a helpful link.
I've confirmed via System Profiler on laptop #3 that my external USB drive is formatted as MS-DOS FAT32, so mount_msdos seems like the right utility to use. (The drive shows up there as /dev/disk1s1.) Meanwhile, "ls /dev/disk*" on the problem machine returns the following:
/dev/disk0 /dev/disk0s1 /dev/disk0s2 /dev/disk1 /dev/disk1s1 /dev/disk1s2 /dev/disk1s3 /dev/disk2 /dev/disk2s1
I've created /Volumes/rescue as a mount point and tried most of those devices with "/sbin/mount_msdos [device] /Volumes/rescue", with the following results:
/dev/disk1:
mount_msdos: Unsupported sector size (0)
/dev/disk1s1:
mount_msdos: Unsupported sector size (1)
/dev/disk1s2:
mount_msdos: /dev/disk1s2: Bad file descriptor
/dev/disk1s3:
mount_msdos: Unsupported sector size (0)
/dev/disk2:
mount_msdos: Unsupported sector size (64543)
/dev/disk2s1:
kextload: cannot resolve dependencies for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/msdosfs.kext
error loading extension /System/Library/Extensions/msdosfs.kext
mount_msdos: msdos filesystem is not available
Based on this, I'm guessing that disk2s1 is the device I want. Unfortunately, when I try to poke around in /System/Library/Extensions, I'm getting I/O errors...gah. I have a bad feeling about this.

Flash drive no longer mounts

As of last night, it always did, but today, I see nothing on the desktop or finder sidebar to indicate the flash drive's mounted. My MBP mounts other flash drives thru the same usb port and mp3 players, just not this one anymore. And I see it on our windows computer. Whasup widat?

Ick. I had that happen with a set of drives last week. In my case it turns out the adapter I was using was bad. In your case there's fewer options (since you say other drives work) - it's either a bad connection or a bad drive. As I said, Windows will detect drives if they are just plugged in, even if they aren't functional. Flash drives don't last forever... Do you have a USB extension cord to see if it's just a bad connection?
You can peruse the following but it doesn't sound like one of these issues.

Have a 64GB flash drive that used to work and after an update, now doesn't show up in finder

I have a 64GB flash drive that worked just fine and Finder would show it when I would insert it, well it seems that after I updated my mac it now doesn't recognize or show the flash drive. I am unsure if the update did something but like I said it worked previously to update and it works on other windows based computers. So is there a way I can fix this?

Hey Raveybaby
I would check to see if it shows up in Disk Utility. If it does, run a Repair Disk on it and also mount the flash drive as well. If it does not show up, check other ports as well.

Flash drive deletion? help

Today I attempted to help someone with some documents. When I inserted their flash drive into my macbook pro, the drive didn't have anything on it. How do i know that i didn't mistakenly delete the data that was on the disk? Does this happen?

Chembro wrote:
Thanks. That's what I thought. The girl is thinking that I did something to her flash drive, but all I did was put it in and take it out. I have a flash drive and it has never done that.
You've added another operation in your reply: "take it out." If a flash drive is removed without first dismounting it, all bets are off. If, however, the data was already gone when you mounted the flash drive and opened it, then removing it, even improperly, couldn't erase what was not there when you first mounted it.

How to copy iphoto picture library to flash drive?

How can I copy all the pictures in iphoto to a flash drive?

you ask two different questions
do you want to copy the iPHoto library to a flash drive? If so then format the flash drive Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library to it
Or
do you want to copy all of your photos from the iPhoto library to a flash drive? If so select them all in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (see the user tip on exporting for details on the available options), mount the Flash drive and drag that folder to it

[SOLVED] Flash drive not showing up in /dev

When I plug in a flash drive to the USB 2.0/3.0 ports on my computer, nothing changes in /dev. I don't see any /dev/sdb either.
lsusb shows the flash drives, and /dev/bus/usb/ contains the correct files. fdisk and lsblk don't show the flash drives.
Here's the dmesg output for plugging a flash drive into the USB 2.0 port:
[13146.969084] usb 4-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-pci
I'm trying to mount the flash drives manually, but I can't if I can't find the device. What's going on?

The version number were different, and rebooting fixed the problem. I see the flash drive in /dev and in /run/media. Thanks guys.
One more question. What program is automounting my flash drive in /run/media?
EDIT: I'll mark this question as solved and make a new question.

I want to copy images from a external flash drive to my 'images'

I want to copy pictures saved to an external flash drive and download them to my 'All Images' on my desktop. Thanks!

Mount the flash drive on your desktop, drag the images to your desktop and then drag and drop them onto your Images file.

[Solved]USB Flash Drive inaccessible.

Hi there.
I have installed Arch Linux on my Sony laptop and I have configured it so that most stuff works. The only problem I'm facing now, is that my USB Flash Drive won't show up when I plug it in. I have tried restarting ehci service, but it does not solve anything. I had this problem many years ago with another computer running Linux, but I can't remember how it got solved. Connecting a USB-mouse works perfectly but not a flash drive. The drive is a FAT32 formatted Kingston.

Have you tried to manually mount it? To see if it is a PCManFM issue. Also, have you checked this:

Hi.
I tried installing gvfs, apparently I uninstalled it for some reason before. But it did not help mounting the flash drive. So I tried mounting it manually and it worked (Yaay!). But it complained that my flash drive was not mentioned in fstab. So I looked in fstab and the only ones listed is my root partion "/" and "/home". So how do I add USB mounting to fstab? I'm a little bit confused.
And one off-topic question: Shouldn't my "/var" partion also be mentioned in fstab?
Thanks for helping me
Edit: This is how fstab looks right now
