This is annoying me 'coz the whole system should be up. The USB removable storage system is one of those stuff. The situation is: 1) there's a

a lot of results and possible solutions. The first recommendation was to
/dev/sdb1 Is Not A Block Device
check to make sure the usb-storage and uhci modules are loaded (# lsmod); and they were in my is not a valid block device mount cifs case. I even unloaded them and reloaded them (# modprobe -r module_name, # modprobe module_name) and still got the error. The next most common recommendation that I saw was this:# http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/mount-dev-sdb1-is-not-a-valid-block-device-329834/ mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdevnameThat didn't work for me this time. However, I did find a suggestion that did work. Plug in the device and then type:# fdisk -l(That's a lowercase "L") Now this isn't going to erase your hard drive or the data on your device. It will, however, tell you what disk partitions you have on your system, http://www.brianwsnyder.com/blog/2006/10/devsda1-is-not-valid-block-device.html whether they are mounted or not.So, if you get the "/dev/sda1 is not a valid block device" error, plug the device in and type "fdisk -l." Then you should see something similar to this, along with information about your hard drive partitions, which I did not copy here:Disk /dev/sdb: 1027 MB, 1027604480 bytes16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 3920 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytesDevice Boot Start End Blocks Id System/dev/sdb1 * 1 3920 1003504 e W95 FAT16 (LBA)Then all you do, based on this example, is edit /etc/fstab and change /dev/sda1 to /dev/sdb1 and keep the options the same across the rest of that line. Then just mount like normally would:# mount /mnt/usbdeviceThat did the trick for me. But, try this at your own risk as I can't offer any guarantees! posted by bwsnyder @ 10:19 1 comments 1 Comments: At 12:05, Grzegorz said... THX! bwsnyder.I thougth, that I had camera on sda1, but I type fdisk -l and system show me, my camera on sdb1 :)Now is OK.Thank you for help. Post
