I'd really like a 272GB memory stick, but I guess it ain't one... =) OK, I killed the old fs, repartitioned and reformated, I now get: ================================================================= # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 8 heads, 62 sectors, 1019 cylinders Units = cylinders of 496 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 1019 252681 6 FAT16 ================================================================= When I plug it in now, the following line is added to my fstab: ================================================================= /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 auto noauto,user,exec 0 0 #HOTPLUG B3Fu.I_zcTJvUt7E ================================================================= and I can mount the stick with: mount /media/sda1 Now, I'm able to copy files to the stick again, play them after I unmounted & unplugged, but as soon as I plug the stick back into the usb-hub, the files copied to it with the linux-box vanish. Only the files created by the device itself (via the voice-recorder) and the ones copied to the stick via W2K will stay. Can anybody explain to me how just pluggin' in that stick can erase "some" files on it? This doesn't make sense to me... Mounting /dev/sda will still work, but files copied there won't show up on the device (as expected). After pluggin' it in now, I'll get the following in /var/log/messages: Feb 8 07:09:34 cuddle kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2/1, assigned device number 8 Feb 8 07:09:34 cuddle kernel: WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured Feb 8 07:09:34 cuddle kernel: USB Mass Storage device found at 8 Feb 8 07:09:36 cuddle kernel: sd_init_onedisk (0,0), sda 08:00 Feb 8 07:09:36 cuddle kernel: SCSI device sda: 505856 512-byte hdwr sectors (259 MB) Feb 8 07:09:36 cuddle kernel: sda: Write Protect is off Feb 8 07:09:36 cuddle kernel: sda: sda1 Feb 8 07:09:36 cuddle /etc/hotplug/usb.agent[2020]: Can't ignore signal CHLD, forcing to default. -- Powered by SuSE 8.1pro - KDE 3.0.3 - KMail 1.4.3 At least, try asking smart questions: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Netiquette is easy: http://learn.to/edit_messages ...and you'll get flame-free answers in no time. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
