It does too. I just created it with cfdisk. dmesg|tail doesn't show anything odd. Anyway some better error message is needed. # ls -l /dev/sde? brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 65 11-06 01:02 /dev/sde1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 66 11-06 01:02 /dev/sde2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 67 11-06 01:02 /dev/sde3 So I don't know why cfdisk, which says "syncing disks" after quitting, doesn't notify the rest of Debian about the new partitions. Or maybe it is just my bad luck with USB in general. Better backup anything to hard disk as often unmounted superblocks get zapped (upon poweroff?), no matter what card reader... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
