Not exactly sure if this is USB related. I've got a SanDisk SDDR-05a CF card reader or as lsusb puts it "Bus 002 Device 012: ID 0781:0001 SanDisk Corp. SDDR-05a ImageMate CompactFlash Reader"
I've got two CF cards both SanDisk branded, one an 8Mb card and the other a 16Mb card. I can read/format the 8Mb card no problems but I'm having some issues with the 16Mb card. I've seen the error a few times when reading the card but I can reproduce it every time when formatting. [EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdb1 mkfs.vfat 2.8 (28 Feb 2001) mkfs.vfat: Attempting to create a too large file system The information that shows up in the log file is: kernel: scsi2: ERROR on channel 0, id 0, lun 0, CDB: Read (10) 00 00 00 00 28 00 00 20 00 kernel: Current sd08:11: sense key Medium Error kernel: Additional sense indicates CIRC unrecovered error kernel: I/O error: dev 08:11, sector 8 kernel: scsi2: ERROR on channel 0, id 0, lun 0, CDB: Read (10) 00 00 00 00 28 00 00 08 00 kernel: Current sd08:11: sense key Medium Error kernel: Additional sense indicates CIRC unrecovered error kernel: I/O error: dev 08:11, sector 8 . I realise this is most likely a SCSI error which is where the CIRC reference comes from but i'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. Am I right in thinking that the most likely cause is that the CF card is stuffed? I'm running RH9 with the RedHat provided kernel 2.4.20-19.9 so all the USB stuff is loaded as a module. I've not got off my butt and recompiled it yet. In case it' suseful here's the output of /proc/scsi/scsi.
