hi all, firstly i've read the threads about monlib etc, i tend to make it standard practice to format the flash card in whatever chassis it is currently in before use, however in this case, i cant even format the flash cards. we are talking about genuine sandisk 1GB which seem to work ok elsewhere but in the 6500 & 7600 SUP720-3BXL based platforms everything appears fine until you go to format the card and then you get this
Router#format disk1: Format operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm] Format operation will destroy all data in "disk1:". Continue? [confirm] %Error formatting disk1 (Format failure - Drive Communication) and then the CF card promptly disappears Router#dir disk1: %Error opening disk1:/ (No such device) Router#sh plat hard cap | i disk 1 SP disk0: 128151552 78741504 61% i have tried formatting these CF cards on other routers eg 7301, 1841, bring them over to the SUP720, they look fine, but the moment you go to re-format - splat. i have tried formatting these CF cards on a PC using a CF card reader, again they look fine, but again splat. now, what is REALLY wierd i format these CF card on a Canon EOS 400D digital SLR and they work just fine in the SUP720 Router#sh disk1: -#- --length-- -----date/time------ path 1 0 Sep 02 2008 15:43:54 DCIM 2 0 Sep 02 2008 15:43:54 DCIM/217CANON 260796416 bytes available (8192 bytes used) Router#dir disk1:/DCIM/217CANON/ Directory of disk1:/DCIM/217CANON/ No files in directory 260804608 bytes total (260796416 bytes free) Router#format disk1: Format operation may take a while.
