Hello, Got a 2gb mp3 player. The issue is it needs a usb2 card and the only available one is on a centos 5.1 box. I was wondering how do i get this device to show up? I'd like to share it's directories via samba, so that windows users can manipulate it's files, add more, etc. Thanks. Dave.

it -should- work on USB1, just slower.
but, um, plug it in, it should be visible to centos as a FAT32 USB disk drive, you should be able to share that via samba.
Hi, Thanks, plugged it in. What do i use to find it? Thanks. Dave. PS, it's a sandisk clip something mp3 player, 2 gb capacity.

if it automounted, `df` or `mount` should show the path its mounted on.
otherwise, the device name should be shown near the end of `dmesg`, and you should be able to mount it like any other storage device, create a root directory to mount it under (mkdir /sandisk), put an entry for it in /etc/fstab with the file system type of fat32, and mount it...

It should get ideintified as a USB storage device and get automounted as a DOS partition. Not sure how effective samba would be at exporting a mounted DOS partion, though.
