USB mount on CentOS 6 server 1

[chieftan]

Hi,

I am trying to mount a FAT32 USB pen drive on a CentOS server 6. Primarily so I can install a stable version of freeRADIUS. I am running into difficulties with every command I am trying. Here are the commands I have used and the output:

Mkdir /mnt/extUSB/
Mount -t FAT32 /dev/sdb /mnt/extUSB
Mount: unknown filesystem type 'FAT32'
Mount: maybe you meant 'vfat'?

Okay, let's try that:

Mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/extUSB/
FAT: invalid media value (0x00)

I have also tried the sudo command. I have checked the pen drive and it is indeed fat32. I have tried a different pen drive with the same results.

I have tried mkfs but that does not seem to work either telling me that /dev/sdb is neither a file nor a directory.

Has anyone else had this issue or can help please?

Thanks

it's probably /dev/sdb1. Run [tt]fdisk -l /dev/sdb[/tt] to see the partitions.
