Greetings all;

I just mounted, as a vfat filesystem, a 64meg usb key/stick, wrote one file
to it on a debian/kubuntu 6.06 LTS system, unmounted it and and brought it in
here and plugged it into the FC6 box, on a usb1.1 hub also, but I cannot mount it.

usb_storage is loaded according to lsmod.  Here is the stanza from the log when I plug it in:

May 10 13:24:42 coyote kernel: scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
May 10 13:24:47 coyote kernel: scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access     Staples                   0.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

May 10 13:29:10 coyote kernel: scsi 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0

And of course sg4 is assumed to be the loader robot for the 5th robotic scsi
tape drive the last I knew.

Shouldn't it be available as /dev/sda1?  It always has been before, quite a few times.

Kernel is 2.6.21.1-cfs-v10
