Package: util-linux Version: 2.13.1-1 It seems from http://www.google.com/search?q=%22sda:+unknown+partition+table%22 that there is a new world of pendrives, MP3 players, that upon insertion give in dmesg:

All one wants to do is use fdisk -l /dev/sda. However # mount /dev/sda /mnt works fine and the disk is mounted as vfat and all files are visible. Therefore something about fdisk etc. is behind the times. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
