Can anyone help me out on this one - i have a Corsair 1Gb flash pen, when i first got it i copied some files to it from win2K and plugged and played straight away with Core 3. Excellent i thought. Worked a few times then for some strange and unknown reason, over the weekend it just stopped working. Reboots, autofs faffed with - no avail. The CORSAIR FLASH VOYAGER entry in 'Computer' appears, but then isnt accessible anymore:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too many mounted file systems

however if i use mount from the commandline:
mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/corsair

I get a nice new 'Computer' entry called CORSAIR and its fully accessible.

I'm sure this is a simple one but ive tried faffing with auto.master etc and come to no end of confusion.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Plug it and when mounted post your /etc/fstab.
