Cannot access to USB or unmount it
Hello. I've seen a few posts about not being able to see USB.
I can also see it on computer and gparted.
lsusb shows me the device:
[code]Bus 001 Device 013: ID 0930:6545 Toshiba Corp. Kingston DataTraveler 102 Flash Drive / HEMA Flash Drive 2 GB / PNY Attache 4GB Stick[/usb]
However, I cannot unmount it or access to it. And besides that, it is a 8GB device. Apparently, lsusb recognizes it as a 2 or 4 GB stick (I do not understand what is HEMA or PNY, Google results only taught me that PNY is a memory manufacturer but nothing relevant about HEMA). gparted recognizes it fine (7.46 GiB).
I cannot just go ahead and format it as it was lent to me and has files that do not belong to me. So, I would like to use it after I backup files in it for trying LiveCDs of some linux-based OSs I have downloaded.
BTW, I do not want to install wine or anything related to Bill Gates. =P
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Happy holidays. =)

[CODE]
sudo fdisk -l
sudo parted -l
Re: Cannot access to USB or unmount it
In order to get a list of plugged in disks, execute the following command.
Once you've done that, it should be fairly easy to identify the memory stick. If you can't identify it, post the output in the thread.
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sdx ~/dir/usb/
Use the command mount in order to mount the memory stick. Change /dev/sdx and ~/dir/usb accordingly.
Then, just enter the directory you specified.
Edit:
I just noticed you wanted to unmount it. Just use umount instead.
Code:
sudo umount /dev/sdx
Re: Cannot access to USB or unmount it
Ok, so I did:
Code:
sudo mkdir /media/usb
And:
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb/
Works great. Thank you and happy new year both of you!
