Ok, do dmesg and /proc/partitions agree that there is a partition |
| 17 |
there? If not, then the problem is that the kernel is not recognizing |
| 18 |
your partition table. I would suggest: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
<insert the key> |
| 21 |
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 |
| 22 |
<remove then re-insert the key> |
| 23 |
fdisk /dev/sdb |
| 24 |
<create single partition, type 'b'> |
| 25 |
mkfs.vfat -n MYKEY -F 32 /dev/sda1 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
FAIR WARNING: the above _will_ destroy all data on the key!! |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
After this, I things should work normally...I hope. |
