For some strange reason this formats my 64MB memory stick to 8MB and my
camera won't recognise it. If I format it on the Sony camera, it formats
to 64MB but then I can't mount it under Linux - presumably something in
the boot sector is missing.

I've got around this by formatting the stick in the camera, then
re-writing the boot sector with fdisk. So I'm fixed up, but slightly
puzzled.
