I have a 4GB Sandisk "Freedom" stick, which used to show up until some time ago. Deleting .olpc_store fixed it. The stick mounted ok in the system though . df -h would show it as mounted, but it wouldn't show in the journal until I deleted .olpc_store cheers, Sameer -- Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Information Systems San Francisco State University San Francisco CA 94132 USA <a href="http://verma.sfsu.edu/">http://verma.sfsu.edu/</a> <a href="http://opensource.sfsu.edu/">http://opensource.sfsu.edu/</a>
