Parameter to edit in /etc/fstab in RH 8.0
Hi All,

In RH 8.0, I am not able to mount USB pendrive. I know one method where in /etc/fstab is to be edited, so that it points to a directory /mnt/usb.
After that it mount automatically.
Unfortunately, i have forgotten the parameter to add in /etc/fstab-can anyone help me please?

Thanks much in advance,
Scriptlearner.
