Hey can anyone help me figure out how to mount my PSP (it's a Fat12 type). I've seen a few guides but none of them really help me out any. My PSP automounts fine, but it's read only, and I can't add files, or remove files to it at all, and that's something I need to be able to do. I've tried chmod but that only works for a few of the files, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I've changed to the root user with SU, and opened up nautilus to try, and change the permissions through right click/properties, but it says permission denied. Can anyone help me out here please?

Hi Nayt.

Think it's to do with the automount script.. which runs from etc/fstab

So just guessing, but fat12 will be seen as a floppy filesystem, even though it's on a usb...

From that the etc/fstab entry should be something like....


/dev/sda1        /media/psp  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

Make the psp location, or mount it to somewhere you want (like /home/user/psp :lol:)... Odd you are having what sound like permissions errors. Automount usually assigns sda devices to current user when they are detected. It may be different, as it could want, instead of the first auto, something like vfat ...
Let us know how you get on with this one.
