====USB on SME 8====
Two things change on SME 8
- It's difficult to work out what your device name is ie /dev/sda1
- The mount directory isn't automatically created
We use hal for the first and manually create a directory for the second
hal-find-by-property --key volume.fsusage --string filesystem
which in this example gives
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_AD6E_01EE
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_62E87C01E87BD231
To find the disk or partition label, or the device name run these commands with the id's from above
hal-get-property --udi XXX --key volume.label
hal-get-property --udi XXX --key block.device
for example
hal-get-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_AD6E_01EE --key volume.label
120Gbfat32
hal-get-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_AD6E_01EE --key block.device
/dev/sda1
Then check a mount point exists or create one, and monut
ll /media
mount /dev/sda1 /media/120Gbfat32
ls -lh /media/120Gbfat32/
umount /dev/sda1 (when finished)
