I can't make any sense of it.
It's doing this with 2 different SDcards, I think - this is the brand new
replacement for one which I believe(d) to be knackered.
Instead of mounting the SDcard, it's mounting the loopback device.
A card, as /dev/sdb, was previously zeroed over and repartitioned a couple of
days ago. I bet if I reboot the system it'll be recognised. How do I get it to
be recognised now?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
Stroller.
