I have two computers running Suse 8.1. I also have two Sony memory sticks. On machine 'a' I forgot to umount before I turned the camera off and put in the other memory stick. Now machine 'a' says it can't find the fstype of the second memory stick and that there's no file system specified. If I put the second memory in the second computer it finds the file system just fine.
I changed the relevant line in fstab to this: /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 vfat noauto,user,exec 0 0 #HOTPLUG B3Fu.UiL1CJEqQp4 from this: /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 auto noauto,user,exec 0 0 #HOTPLUG B3Fu.UiL1CJEqQp4 Now I get this error message: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too many mounted file systems I ran dosfsck and got this: # dosfsck -alftv /dev/sda1 dosfsck 2.8 (28 Feb 2001) dosfsck 2.8, 28 Feb 2001, FAT32, LFN Currently, only 2 FATs are supported, not 255. Does the machine that doesn't read the card see 255 FAT's? Does anyone know what's going on here? I read this in an article about usb mass storage: The basic theory is that when a device is attached, a control thread is spawned to handle it. That thread is registered as a virtual SCSI controller. The threads are persistent across device insertion/removal, as is the SCSI node. This is done so that a device which is removed can be re-attached and be granted the same /dev node as before, creating persistence between connections of the target unit. I think a thread is created for each memory stick and that the thread that is connected to the memory stick that mass storage can't find a file system for is corrupted. Is there a way to identify and eliminate this thread. Also where can I subscribe to the mailing list? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.
