   Only that the HP scanjet and logitech camera are seen. Er, ... helps to
turn on the device before connecting it. Now I see:

Bus 002 Device 044: ID 0492:0140 Samsung SemiConductor, Inc.

   So, now root can mount /dev/sda on /mnt/meizu. /var/log/messages tells me
that

Feb 24 15:11:08 salmo kernel: sd 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0

   And, I added /dev/sda to /etc/fstab.

   But, when root mounts the device, I -- as a user -- cannot copy files to
it. But, root can.

   To gain user access, do I source /etc/fstab or just log out and back in as
a user?

Thanks, Paul,

Rich
