Re: Mounting FAT32 USB stick always defaults to user "PI"

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I didn't use the UUID method because if my friend were to pass me his USB stick then I would have to edit stuff every time. I found less hassle if I manually sudo umount whatever the auto-mounter mounted to /media then manually mount it again with my own settings. I c...

Re: Mounting FAT32 USB stick always defaults to user "PI"

Any way to salvage my SD card

Hello... rasp 2 B newbie here. My Raspberry 2 froze while I was browsing using Konqueror. I couldn't do anything else except switch off the power so my old 4GB micro SD ended up corrupted.
