[Bug 589369] Re: No automount for 8GB SDHC card: FAT: Invalid FSINFO signature: 0x41645252, 0x61417272 (sector = 1)
Confirmed fixed in 3.0.0-13-generic (Xubuntu Oneiric). Still getting all the same error messages but the good news is that the drive now mounts automatically.

Idefix, you're a champion! Thanks so much for following through on this. I wasn't going to push any further because it's a bit like a game of Simon Says in which the proprietary players can easily come up with more and more ridiculous ways to break compatibility. :) I tried your suggestion of mkdosfs without a partition table (requires mkdosfs -I) but the Marantz complains Unformat. Formatting in the device is certainly the low-risk approach. For the moment I'm fixing with `dosfsck -a` but your patch will surely arrive soon. Thanks also to Karel Zak.

Thanks for performing the test. It confirmed what I was suspecting: Windows doesn't look at those signatures at all. I therefore submitted the 'hack' upstream and it got accepted (see: http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux- ng.git;a=commitdiff;h=01802c2e6df94aa14609d5628b276bad6bb09968 ). If/when Ubuntu will incorporate this fix, I don't know. Regarding your mkdosfs-problem: I think that the Marantz doesn't like it when the card contains a partition-table (which you created with fdisk). What happens when you format the raw device with mkdosfs? (To be on the safe side, I've always let my devices format the cards.) ** Changed in: util-linux (Ubuntu) Status: New = Fix Committed ** Changed in: util-linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Idefix (ksjfla83hjdk392kde) -- No automount for 8GB SDHC card: FAT: Invalid FSINFO signature: 0x41645252, 0x61417272 (sector = 1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks Idefix, you're absolutely right. I tried the WinXP test you suggested and it was successful, i.e. Windows recognises Marantz formatting even with the incorrect FSINFO, so Windows is more tolerant than linux in that regard. Then I hacked the FSINFO back to the standard value using hexeditor. Linux automount started working and the Marantz recorder was not adversely affected, still being able to read and write the card with no problems. It's tempting to say WinXP works, linux doesn't, therefore linux has a bug, but why has Marantz introduced this new FSINFO identifier? It's not just Marantz either. Apparently the Edirol R-09HR audio recorder does the same thing. See here:- http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=109564.300 In that case the user fixed the broken identifier with `fsck.vfat -a`. Perhaps there's a bug in the SDK those manufacturers are using, unless start evil conspiracy theory music it's a plot to thwart linux! stop music It would also be interesting to know why the Marantz doesn't like the way mkdosfs formats the partition, but I think I'll sign off now, before the music starts again. :) Cheers. -- No automount for 8GB SDHC card: FAT: Invalid FSINFO signature: 0x41645252, 0x61417272 (sector = 1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 589369] Re: No automount for 8GB SDHC card: FAT: Invalid FSINFO signature: 0x41645252, 0x61417272 (sector = 1)
The problem is that your Marantz audio recorder is writing an incorrect value to the FSINFO signature of the FAT filesystem (the vfat driver also tells you that: Invalid FSINFO signature: 0x41645252, 0x61417272 (sector = 1).) The correct FSINFO signature should be: 0x41615252, 0x61417272 I suspect that smaller cards work because they are formatted as FAT (which doesn't have a FSINFO signature), while SDHC cards are formatted as FAT32. So the best fix would be for Marantz to update their firmware to write the correct FSINFO signature. But if the card does automount in Windows as you said, I doubt they would have any motivation to do that. Could you test if the SDHC card (formatted in the audio recorder) is correctly recognised by a recent Windows version (XP+) when using a standard card reader (not the Marantz) and the standard Windows USB drivers? The next best fix would therefore be to add a check for this incorrect FSINFO signature to the vfat superblock module of the libblkid library. But I'm not sure if the util-linux-ng maintainers will accept this 'hack'. -- No automount for 8GB SDHC card: FAT: Invalid FSINFO signature: 0x41645252, 0x61417272 (sector = 1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for the suggestion, but this bug was based on the latest version of the PMD661 firmware, which is still current. I should have mentioned the firmware version above, A1.17. [About the notes accompanying the firmware release, I don't think Marantz is claiming those issues are fixed, merely that they are aware of the problems. Hopefully that means they might be fixed in a future release, however I doubt that Marantz has much control over the low- level formatting of flash cards. More than likely those particulars are determined by whichever licensed SDK was used to build the firmware.] Smaller cards (1GB, 2GB) formatted in the same recorder do automount under linux, so this possibly applies only to SDHC cards. The 8GB SDHC card does automount in Win98SE though, using NUSB (Maximus Decim's generic USB driver) which dates back a few years now. For that reason I believe this can be called a linux bug. -- No automount for 8GB SDHC card: FAT: Invalid FSINFO signature: 0x41645252, 0x61417272 (sector = 1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
