How can I access my USB Drive from DSL?Forum: DSL Embedded Topic: How can I access my USB Drive from DSL? started by: edward2fn Posted by edward2fn on June 19 2006,21:27
I am using qemu, with the -usb option. DSL is detecting my USB thumb drive, but how do I mount/access files on the usb drive connected to my pc? Thanks in advance...

Just mount it with the mount tool, then open emelfm and goto /mnt/ sda1.

If they are registered as USB mass storage devices, I would expect that you could mount them from the command line with:mount /mnt/sda1 mount /mnt/sdb1 Keep in mind you will need to wait 10-20 seconds when plugging them in before you will be able to mount. Posted by pr0f3550r on June 20 2006,18:20
We are talking of Qemu here, so it's Qemu recognizing the usb device not DSL. The usb device is inserted before booting qemu, hence the device is already recognized by the filesystem. You can mount the usb device wherever you want. I suggest that you mkdir /usb and mount the device on that directory, being root. Posted by edward2fn on June 20 2006,20:01
ok i tried what the person above suggested. no go - so sudo mkdir /usb, then what?
