Topic: How to mount my usb flash drive. Kamikaze r6813

Hey guys,

   I just installed kk r6813 on my Asus WL-500gP, I loaded the usb drivers
and KK, see's the USB stick with no problem.  Now I just don't know how to
mount this drive.  I did a search for mounting for KK but the path they are talking
about does not exist on my end.

This I know, when the usb stick in installed.  and I go into /dev  I see two
files (or whatever they are called)   sda and sda1,  when I remove my usb
stick they are gone.  So I know the usb drivers are loaded and working. 

How do I mount this drive ?

Any help, suggestion, comments are welcomed and greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Okay, getting closer,  I was able to do this.

mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda

and I got this.

root@OpenWrt:~# mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda
mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
/dev/sda is entire device, not just one partition!
Proceed anyway? (y,n) y
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=1024 (log=0)
Fragment size=1024 (log=0)
251904 inodes, 2015232 blocks
100761 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=1
246 block groups
8192 blocks per group, 8192 fragments per group
1024 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
        8193, 24577, 40961, 57345, 73729, 204801, 221185, 401409, 663553,
        1024001, 1990657

Writing inode tables: done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 32 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

I just don't know how to access the USB drive.


again any help, suggestions, comments are appreciated.

Okay, I did this


mount /dev/sda /sda1

and it seems like it's working.
