How to mount flashdisk like Kingston?
I use mount -t vfat /dev/hdb /mnt/usb , but it can't.
What is the file type of kingston?

First of all, if you're using reasonably recent version of Debian you should see the disk automounted on your desktop. If you dont, try this way: as root, issue the command
tail -f /var/log/messagesand connect your disk. Here's an example of what pops out in case of an iPod:
Sep 24 23:52:10 localhost kernel: usb 5-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 Sep 24 23:52:10 localhost kernel: usb 5-6: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices Sep 24 23:52:10 localhost kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... Sep 24 23:52:10 localhost kernel: scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Sep 24 23:52:10 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage Sep 24 23:52:10 localhost kernel: USB Mass Storage support registered. Sep 24 23:52:15 localhost kernel: Vendor: Apple Model: iPod Rev: 1.62 Sep 24 23:52:15 localhost kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 Sep 24 23:52:15 localhost kernel: SCSI device sdb: 58605120 512-byte hdwr sectors (30006 MB) Sep 24 23:52:15 localhost kernel: sdb: Write Protect is off Sep 24 23:52:15 localhost kernel: SCSI device sdb: 58605120 512-byte hdwr sectors (30006 MB) Sep 24 23:52:15 localhost kernel: sdb: Write Protect is off Sep 24 23:52:15 localhost kernel: sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 Sep 24 23:52:15 localhost kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb Sep 24 23:52:15 localhost kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0This tells me the iPod's device is called '/dev/sdb' and it contains 3 partitions sdb1, sdb2, sdb3. Now , in order to figure out what is the filesystem type on a given partition, try
cfdisk /dev/sdband you should see something like
cfdisk 2.12r
Disk Drive: /dev/sdb
Size: 30005821440 bytes, 30.0 GB
Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 3648
Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
----------------------------------------------------------------- --
Pri/Log Free Space 82.26
sdb2 Boot Primary W95 FAT32 28870.74
sdb3 Primary Linux ext2 1052.84
so , say, sdb3 is an ext2, so to mount it mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb3 /your/mountpoint
