Hello all
Sorry Phil, mistake on my part, I'm a newby!!
It's okay. Thanks for mailing the list this time.
The memory-stick IS formatted, but in FAT32, which I
would like to keep since, for some jobs, I'm force to
use Windows. I thought that Mandrake would be able to
read the memory-stick just as it does my DOS-floppy.
Anyway, there is still no icon.
The kernel can read fat32 (assuming it's in your kernel, but I know mdk
provides that in their kernels). It's not the filesystem it can't read,
it's the partition table:
SCSI device sda: 64000 512-byte hdwr sectors (33 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 00 06 00 00
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: unknown partition
table
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0,
id 0, lun 0
Although I've never owned such a device (or tried this on my memory
stick), I'm told some devices come with the device formatted instead of
partitioned and having a partition formatted.
Have you tried mounting /dev/sda ?
Um... as for there being no icon, I can't help you there, and this isn't
the appropriate list for that (join a mandrake users list) (in fact, you
should have started on linux-usb-users not linux-usb-devel). If you
suspect there's actually an issue with the kernel we can help, (i.e.
usb-storage wasn't recognizing it or was doing the incorrect thing - but
it's assigning it to a device file and giving no errors) but from what I
can see, there's not.
