HI,
I am using linux red hat 9 in vmware. I am facing difficulty to mount USB in RedHat.
How i can Know that usb is detect on which sd??
When I use command (mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb )
linux is mounting Root Drive

Can anyone have solution of this problem..?
remember Linux is installed in VMWARE..?

The command is usually sudo mount /dev/sda /media/usb you might have to create the directory /media/usb first. Or /mnt/usb if that's what you want to use.

You'll want to find out what files system you are looking at too. For instance, my USB Drive is a vfat filesystem (Fat-32), so I added this line to my /etc/fstab file:

/dev/sda5 /media/usbdisk vfat defaults 0 0

then run this command in your terminal
mkdir /media/usbdisk

Now, whenever you reboot your computer, your fstab file will automatically try to mount this drive to the /media/usbdisk folder. or you could do a 'mount -a' as root and mount it would rebooting.

This should work just fine for VMWare install linux distros.
