Question : mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
Hi.
OpenSUSE won't mount my USB memory device. It comes up with a message box giving the correct name of the device, but gives also the error:
mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
I've searched the internet that led me to look at the two files:
proc/partitions:
major minor #blocks name
8 0 732574584 sda
8 1 102400 sda1
8 2 425269248 sda2
8 3 1 sda3
8 5 2104483 sda5
8 6 20972826 sda6
8 7 284117526 sda7
8 96 8059904 sdg
8 97 8059888 sdg1
the last one is the USB device. So it did detect it. Here's the fstab file from /etc:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3750
528AS_5VP2
H0PP-part5
swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3750

usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs

devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
In bold are my changes/additions.
I then created the folder /media/usbdisk.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Answer : mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
Just do /sbin/depmod -a
That will be enough.
