No /dev/sda. But there exists /dev/plextor_memstick. However: |
| 9 |
root@jmaa ~ $ fdisk -l plextor_memstick |
| 10 |
~ |
| 11 |
root@jmaa ~ $ mount -t auto /dev/plextor_memstick /mnt/pen |
| 12 |
mount: block device /dev/plextor_memstick is write-protected, mounting |
| 13 |
read-only |
| 14 |
mount: you must specify the filesystem type |
| 15 |
~ |
| 16 |
root@jmaa ~ $ ls /mnt/pen |
| 17 |
~ |
| 18 |
root@jmaa ~ $ umount /mnt/pen |
| 19 |
umount: /mnt/pen: not mounted |
| 20 |
~ |
| 21 |
root@jmaa ~ $ fdisk -l plextor_memstick |
| 22 |
~ |
| 23 |
root@jmaa ~ $ mount -t vfat /dev/plextor_memstick /mnt/pen |
| 24 |
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on |
| 25 |
/dev/plextor_memstick, missing codepage or other error |
| 26 |
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try |
| 27 |
dmesg | tail or so |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Well, let's try again. I remove the stick and plug it again. Now there |
| 30 |
are both /dev/plextor_memstick and /dev/plextor_memstick1 ! |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
root@jmaa ~ $ mount /mnt/pen |
| 33 |
~ |
| 34 |
root@jmaa ~ $ ls /mnt/pen |
| 35 |
teste teste~ |
| 36 |
root@jmaa ~ $ cat /etc/fstab|grep pen |
| 37 |
/dev/plextor_memstick1 /mnt/pen vfat noauto,user,noexec,nodev,rw,noatime,conv=auto,uni_xlate,posix 0 0 |
| 38 |
root@jmaa ~ $ umount /mnt/pen |
| 39 |

| 40 |
root@jmaa ~ $ fdisk -l /dev/plextor_memstick |
| 41 |

Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: |
| 48 |
phys=(842, 128, 19) logical=(837, 58, 18) |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
So, there is really a partition. This is the original partitioning. I |
| 51 |
didn't change it because I want to keep it vfat, in case I need to use |
| 52 |
it on a Mac (or even on a Windows PC, who knows?). |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Would it be a good idea to reformat the disk using fdisk? Maybe the |
| 55 |
problem lies with crappy windows tools? |

Thanks, |
