External Lacie USB hard disks
I'm trying to mount a USB Lacie external hardrive in my Linux system but am having trouble doing so, I'm also having trouble mounting my USB ZIP 250 drive.
It is totally me being stupid, but I'm new to unix and am having a few teathing problems.
the command I'm using is the following mount /dev/sda /mnt/ZIP & mount /dev/sdb /mnt/Lacie.
I have created the mount points in /mnt and the file system used on those drives is FAT32, is FAT32 compatible with Linux.
I'm running Suse 7.1.
please don't be afraid of giving me complex commands, I'm used to using DOS and Windows. Like DOS hate windows, but hey that's why I'm converting to Linux

copyfs-mount
COPYFS-MOUNT(1) User Commands COPYFS-MOUNT(1)
NAME
copyfs-mount - mounts a versioned file system
SYNOPSIS
copyfs-mount version-directory mount-point
DESCRIPTION
This script lets you mount a CopyFS file system. version-directory is the directory where the files and version information will be stored
by CopyFS.
When using CopyFS for the first time, copyfs-mount will create the required files in the version-directory before running copyfs-daemon.
mount-point is the directory where the copyfs file system will be mounted. This is where the users will have access to the files.
If you want to mount a CopyFS at '/mnt/fs', whose version directory is at /var/versions, you would use:
root@host# copyfs-mount /var/versions /mnt/fs
To unmount it, simply do:
root@host# umount /mnt/fs
As you would do for any other filesystem.
You can also allow an ordinary non-root users to mount and unmount CopyFS filesystems provided that the user is added to the 'fuse' group.
Ordinary users will be able unmount the filesystem, using the fusermount command:
$ fusermount -u mount-point
