HammerHead_0718 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Not sure how to go about this. I plugged in a 32 GB flash drive into the Nano and it shows up in dmesg as well as USB devices. and fdisk -l shows the drive as /dev/sdb but not sdb1 or sdb2. However it doesn't mount automatically. I figure I should edit the fstab file but don't want to screw anything up. I tried making a directory and mounting but it says /etc/fstab no such file or directory. Anybody have any ideas? Disk /dev/sda: 60751872 sectors, 992M Logical sector size: 512 Disk identifier (GUID): 5f05cf2c-b0d3-445b-ab4c-189f378d956a Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 60751838 Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 40 409639 200M 0700 2 411648 60749823 28.7G 0700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMcPwn Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 First I'd try executing mount /dev/DEVICE_NAME /mnt If that works and you can access the flash drive at /mnt I'd add config 'mount' option target '/sd' option device '/dev/DEVICE_NAME' option fstype 'auto' option options 'rw,sync' option enabled '1' to fstab.

Yup, I've tried that and it tells me fstab does not exist. Thanks for the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 How's the drive formatted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammerHead_0718 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Barry, I think you nailed it on the head. For some reason, I through that exFat was compatible with Linux. Maybe it is maybe it isn't, I haven't double checked. But my instinct after reading your comment makes me believe you are right. Now I have to research whether Windows or mac will read linux format for faster easier file transfer. Lild4d Thanks for the link. I have bookmarked it with a note for reference.

barry99705 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Linux can read exfat, but I don't know if it's baked into this kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3g3x Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I have a 16GB SanDisk Cruzer I want to use with my NANO for storage. The system sees it and I execute the format button and save the fstab file. The is no /tmp/fstab file (I see the sym link from /etc/fstab). I never see the light go on the USB stick when the format starts. It looks like the system sees it, but does not format it. I followed to the format file in: /pineapple/modules/Advanced/formatSD/format_sd It looks like this is not setup or meant to use an USB drive. Is that correct? I see these in 'dmesg' [ 612.870000] usb 1-1.3: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-platform[ 613.000000] usb-storage 1-1.3:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected[ 613.020000] scsi host1: usb-storage 1-1.3:1.0[ 720.450000] usb-storage 1-1.2:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected[ 720.470000] scsi host2: usb-storage 1-1.2:1.0 [ 614.020000] scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access SanDisk Cruzer Fit 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6 The fstab file on the page does not look right either: config 'mount' option target '/sd' option device '/dev/sdcard/sd1' option fstype 'auto' option options 'rw,sync' option enabled '1' I did try to format it on my linux host and that was no good. I did a reet several times, no good. I am running 1.0.5. I did not try this with lower firmware. Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanoUser Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I got my NANO 2 weeks ago. I have exactly the same problem. I use a PNY 32Gb USB DRIVE I tried to format with the web interface. Web interface says "SUCCESS" but usb drive doesn't mount after reboot I tried format EXT4 with gparted, USB Drive doesn't mount automatically web interface shows Bus 001 Device 005: ID 154b:005b PNY fdisk ouput Disk /dev/sdb: 32.7 GB, 32717537280 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3977 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 3978 31949696 83 Linux FSTAB config global option anon_swap '0' option anon_mount '0' option auto_swap '1' option auto_mount '1' option delay_root '5' option check_fs '0' config mount option target '/sd' option device '/dev/sdb1' option fstype 'auto' option options 'rw,sync' option enabled '1' Sorry for my bad english.
