I am not sure where to go from here: I have an iTec smartMedia USB
card reader. I have loaded usb modules, including usb-storage and now I
can see the card reader as /dev/sda.
However mount /dev/sda /mnt/usbCard doesn't work, it says that I have
to specify file system, if I specify common file systems it says it is
not recognized (I tried vfat and few others).
Few more details:
The device itself seems to be working, I can do cat /dev/sda > file
and it creates file of expected size (128MB) and file utility says:
erik@cert:/root$ file usbCardImage
usbCardImage: x86 boot sector, extended partition table
which makes sense (as far as I can tell).
here's what happens when I try to mount it:
cert:~# mount /dev/sda /mnt/usbCard/
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
cert:~# mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/usbCard/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems
cert:~# mount -t iso9660 /dev/sda /mnt/usbCard/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems
another question: once I read the card it cannot be read again (e.g.
after I do cat /dev/sda I cannot do that again unless I rmmod/modprobe
usb-storage) - is there any way to 'rewind' sda?
I searched the web but couldn't find more relevant info (so far), I'd
appreciate any pointers...
TIA
erik
