Is there any "sledgehammer" process available to users without a super secret tool ? I've encountered SD cards which will be recognized as a device when plugged in to a running XO-1 (though 'ls' of a filesystem on that SD card is corrupt) -- but 'fdisk' is ineffective when I want to write a new partition table (and 'fsck' appears to loop). Since otherwise I'd just have to throw the card away, I'd be willing to apply EXTREME measures to get such a card into a reusable ("blank slate") condition. mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
