I'm very heavily dependent on SD cards. In 2008 it was my experience that using a particular hub/adapter to initialize SD cards, I was often seeing partition table corruption. What I ended up doing was to *only* use the XO-1 itself (built-in SD slot) for partitioning and for filesystem creates on an SD card. In 2009 I got an external adapter that is built like a tank (but only does SD cards). I have had zero problems using it to initialize SD card filesystems. mikus p.s. I have been cautioned to avoid guessing when I do not *know*. But from using a large number of external USB devices with XO-1s, my guess is that the XO system is sensitive to the 'timings' presented by those USB devices - so that's something to watch out for with USB->SD adapters. Maybe the more recent XO software has gotten to be more tolerant than the earlier software was. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
