Howdy, |

From previous thread, I found a program that tests memory cards and USB |
| 4 |
sticks to I think. It might can test a hard drive too. It's called F3. |
| 5 |
For those interested: |

|
| 7 |
sys-block/f3 |

Anyway, it writes large files until the card/stick is full then verifies |
| 10 |
the files for corruption etc. It's pretty nifty. So far, it found two |
| 11 |
cards that were having a hard time of keeping files in good condition. |
| 12 |
One card gave me trouble mounting even when done manually. It was in |
| 13 |
bad shape. I retired those cards and have new ones on the way. Anyway, |
| 14 |
new problem. I have one card that tests fine. I've reformatted it a |
| 15 |
couple times but device notifier, DN, just will not see that it has been |
| 16 |
plugged in. I tried a different card reader, different adapter for |
| 17 |
going from a TF or micro to SD card etc. Other cards I plug in work |
| 18 |
like they should. I can mount the weird card manually without error. |
| 19 |
The pictures on it were fine. No sign of corruption at all. I think |
| 20 |
what happened, I mounted it manually the other day. I seem to recall |
| 21 |
reading somewhere that if you mount something manually, DN won't mount |
| 22 |
it for you in the future until you tell it to forget the manual |
| 23 |
mounting. Thing is, I can't find where that is stored so I can remove |
| 24 |
it. Maybe it isn't supposed to do that anymore but is anyway. Does |
| 25 |
anyone know where those settings are stored? Anyone know where I go to |
| 26 |
tell it to see the card and offer to mount it with DN? I've looked |
| 27 |
everywhere I can think of for this. |
| 28 |
|

Also, I think this is a udisks feature but it may be some other software |
| 30 |
that does this. If I plug in a drive that I've plugged in before, it |
| 31 |
remembers if it was sdf, sdj, sdk or whatever and uses what it was |
| 32 |
recognized as before. Given that I have reformatted these cards and it |
| 33 |
sees them as a different card, those letters are getting on up there. |
| 34 |
I'd like to reset that, tell it to forget previous usages or whatever |
| 35 |
you call it so that I can start fresh. Does anyone know where that is |
| 36 |
stored? I've looked in /etc and in several directories in /home/dale/.* |
| 37 |
but can't find anything. Any clues where that could be? Google didn't |
| 38 |
help either but I'm not real sure what to search for either. |

By the way, deer are eating range cubes like crazy. Eating at least 50 |
| 41 |
lbs a week. Those cards are used in trail cameras out in the woods. |
