yeah you said you format it 80%-20%
try 100% ext4
if not you might have a faulty usb.
its working on your computer right?(the usb drive)
Yeah works fine on my computer, both Paritions show up. This is a brand new drive that came with my pineapple 2 days ago,
I created a single 4GB ext4 partition and still no luck.
It would appear my usb has /dev/sda and /dev/sg0, I cannot mount either of these. I get "invalid argument".

I Had a simular problem with getting mass storage to mount and found that i had not formatted it in ext4 primary mode, not sure if you might have the same problem.
just double checked and redid it with GParted, Definitely in Primiary mode and both Partitions are ext4.
I have tried in GParted. Gnome Disk utility, and I have also tried minitool partition wizard on windows

Thanks for your replies guys
Question, are you plugging right into pineapple or using a hub, and how many times have you removed and inserted it since rebooting the pineapple? After setting up my 4gb cruzer as described in the manual I plugged it in and had no issues. Are you seeing the indicator light on the USB flashing? (Pineapple or on the Cruzer)
USB is plugged directly into the pineapple, Must have removed an inserted over a dozen times? USB light is on both pineapple and the USB itself.
How is your hardware set up? i.e. are you using the power adapter or USB battery pack with a USB hub etc.
If you are using the adapter and plugging the Sandisk drive right into the pineapple and still seeing this issue. Try another USB drive. Your drive may be bad.
Have you tried re-flashing firmware and starting from scratch?
I am in UK and the powersupply provided was for US, I am using the USB power from my main computers USB slot. I have also tried from Battery
but as USB hardware is being detected and lights are on, I do not believe this to be a power issue
Thanks

Hi all,
I didnt really want to make a new thread, so - before everyone tells me to search through the forum, I already have. I found plenty of exensive posts on how to get the USB working, but nothing. and I mean NOTHING is working for me right now.
Im using the SanDisk 4GB cruzer as provided with the pineapple. I have Partitioned several times in Ubuntu/Windows using Ext4 and Swap. Using several differnt guides (from the booklet and forums) (80% for 1st partition and 20% for 2nd)
I have finally been able to get the device recognised by the pineapple
root@Pineapple:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0781:5530 SanDisk Corp. Cruzer
but It is not mounting.
root@Pineapple:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 960.0K 240.0K 720.0K 25% /
/dev/root 5.3M 5.3M 0 100% /rom

Here is the list of devices in /dev
root@Pineapple:~# ls /dev/
bus log mtd1 mtd3 mtd5 mtd7 mtdblock2 mtdblock6 port random tty watchdog
console mem mtd1ro mtd3ro mtd5ro mtd7ro mtdblock3 mtdblock7 ppp sda ttyATH0 zero
full mtd0 mtd2 mtd4 mtd6 mtdblock0 mtdblock4 net ptmx sg0 ttyS0
kmsg mtd0ro mtd2ro mtd4ro mtd6ro mtdblock1 mtdblock5 null pts shm urandom
as you can see there is no sda1 or sda2. just sda
here is my FStab configuration
config global automount
option from_fstab 1
option anon_mount 1
config global autoswap
option from_fstab 1
option anon_swap 1
config mount
option target /usb
option device /dev/sda
option fstype ext4
option options rw,sync
option enabled 1
option enabled_fsck 0
config mount
option target /usb
option device /dev/sda1
option fstype ext4
option options rw,sync
option enabled 1
option enabled_fsck 0
config swap
option device /dev/sda2
option enabled 1
I know it is not the one not the one the booklet or people on the forum sugests, but I've tried them all already. I've even tried adding a sleep field in the /etc/init.d/fstab file above the Start field.
If someone could help me figure this out, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

So I need something that will give out over 5v? Bit of a design flaw from the battery then?.. preferably I wanted to be able to use this running on the battery pack. where I wouldnt need a power socket.
