1 I want a bigger micro SD card in my cell phone it came with just 2GB),
2 so I bought a 16GB one complete with carrier to fit in a standard SD
3 slot. My plan was to turn off the phone, remove the 2GB micro SD
4 card, make a tarball of what is on there, put in the 16GB one and
5 untar things, and put the 16GB one in the phone.

7 No luck. /dev shows for devices, sd[fghi], and neither mount nor
8 fdisk knows what to do with them. /var/log/messages has this:

47 I don't remember now if this was the 2GB or 16GB micro SD card, but I
48 know it wasn't 2TB!

50 Is there some trick to reading micro SD cards? I read the SD card
51 from a camera often with no problems, and it is 1 or 2 GB. If it
52 matters any, this micro 16GB SD card and its carrier are Polaroid.

55 I suppose I could just USB mount the phone with the 2GB card, copy off
56 everything, mount the phone with the 16GB card and copy everything back.
