I'm coming into this rather late since I'd somehow been unsubscribed for the past month or so. Anywho...
What does the command "blkid /dev/sdX" say? If the device is partitioned then it should return the partition type (PTTYPE): /dev/sda: PTUUID="2d5ed796-ad53-4317-a7bc-2e0ad85d90d1" PTTYPE="gpt" And if it is a filesystem directly on device then it will return the filesystem type (TYPE) instead along with some other information about the block device: dev/sda1: LABEL="SAMSUNG" UUID="3CA9-C777" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="exfat" PARTLABEL="Basic data partition" PARTUUID="dc7aaeeb-3124-4216-bfbd-ddecfe20d72b" If it's the latter then I strongly recommend finding some way to put a partition table on the drive, especially if the block size is 4K. I/O performance will suffer badly if the partition isn't properly aligned. -- \m/ (--) \m/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@driftwood.blu.org https://driftwood.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
