Howdy, >From previous thread, I found a program that tests memory cards and USB sticks to I think. It might can test a hard drive too. It's called F3. For those interested:
sys-block/f3 Anyway, it writes large files until the card/stick is full then verifies the files for corruption etc. It's pretty nifty. So far, it found two cards that were having a hard time of keeping files in good condition. One card gave me trouble mounting even when done manually. It was in bad shape. I retired those cards and have new ones on the way. Anyway, new problem. I have one card that tests fine. I've reformatted it a couple times but device notifier, DN, just will not see that it has been plugged in. I tried a different card reader, different adapter for going from a TF or micro to SD card etc. Other cards I plug in work like they should. I can mount the weird card manually without error. The pictures on it were fine. No sign of corruption at all. I think what happened, I mounted it manually the other day. I seem to recall reading somewhere that if you mount something manually, DN won't mount it for you in the future until you tell it to forget the manual mounting. Thing is, I can't find where that is stored so I can remove it. Maybe it isn't supposed to do that anymore but is anyway. Does anyone know where those settings are stored? Anyone know where I go to tell it to see the card and offer to mount it with DN? I've looked everywhere I can think of for this. Also, I think this is a udisks feature but it may be some other software that does this. If I plug in a drive that I've plugged in before, it remembers if it was sdf, sdj, sdk or whatever and uses what it was recognized as before. Given that I have reformatted these cards and it sees them as a different card, those letters are getting on up there. I'd like to reset that, tell it to forget previous usages or whatever you call it so that I can start fresh. Does anyone know where that is stored? I've looked in /etc and in several directories in /home/dale/.* but can't find anything. Any clues where that could be? Google didn't help either but I'm not real sure what to search for either. By the way, deer are eating range cubes like crazy. Eating at least 50 lbs a week. Those cards are used in trail cameras out in the woods.
