[PD] [shell] mount USB drive - howto ?

[Ingo Scherzinger]

Hi Frank,

 

Thank you for your suggestion. I'll check that out, too.

However these are always different USB-Sticks in order to exchange patch
data.

So what I did was use [shell]:

 

First create an empty directory "usb" in the root folder and then

 

[mount /dev/sdb1 /usb(

|

[shell]

 

That does the trick. "Unmount" doesn't work this way, however.

For some reason [shell] doesn't seem to accept all possible/needed commands.

 

I'll try some other commands like "kill" or something similar.

 

Ingo
