Dear USB Users,

I need help from someone who has successfully used
the "Travel Drive" USB Flash Memory Drive from DTK
under Linux. According to the "manual" 
it should work with Linux 2.4.X, 
it contains a Sonix USB Flash memory controllet,
it has 128Mbyte of NAND Flash memory.

I read a lot of web pages and failed to find relevant
information before finally writing to this list.
Generic success stories with other USB Flash memories
did not help. I actually tried another USB Flash
memory
(Easydisk) and it worked right away. So the problem
seems to be specific to this (class of) hardware.
In essence everything works except for the mount
command:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
/dev/sda1, or too many mounted file systems

Meanwhile in /var/log/messages the following lines
appear:

Oct 31 17:24:51 hermes kernel: Attached scsi removable
disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Oct 31 17:24:52 hermes kernel: SCSI device sda: 256000

FAT filesystem on dev 08:02.
Oct 31 17:25:39 hermes kernel: FAT: bogus logical

...

Does anyone managed to solve a similar problem?

More details:

Under Windows 2000 the device works perfectly.
Under Linux Redhat 7.3 (or even 8.0) it is 
recognized, eg. /var/log/messages contains
the following (after it is plugged in):

Oct 31 16:48:16 hermes /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup

   Storage driver...

Oct 31 16:48:16 hermes kernel: USB Mass Storage

I also have reasonably looking values in 
/proc/bus/usb/devices:


T:  Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=  2
Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64

P:  Vendor=14c2 ProdID=1020 Rev= 1.00
S:  Product=USB Mass Storage Device
S:  SerialNumber=100000000000
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=100mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=06 Prot=50
Driver=usb-storage
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=  0ms
E:  Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=  0ms

The only thing that does not work is mounting the
device.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Gabor
