Hi all, I've been off-list for a couple weeks on vacation (17 states, 4400+ miles) and had taken 200+ pics with my new Olympus D380 Digital camera, 165 pictures on a 64 MB SmartCard, about 45 on a 32 MB card. I just tried to connect the camera, with the 64 MB card inserted, and got an error mounting it, # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/floppy /dev/sdb1: Input/output error mount: /dev/sdb1 has wrong major or minor number That was su'd to root. I also tried as root proper and got some FAT error messages before the wrong major or minor number problem.
I then tried to turn on the camera to view the pictures, and they were gone! The only option given to me was to format the card. I put the 32MB card in the camera and the pics are there and fine (I haven't tried mounting the camera with the 32 MB card insterted since, irrational though it seems, I'm afraid that my trying to mount it may have erased the pics). I HAVE mounted this camera in the past. I have some lovely pics of my family's golf tournement that I got from the camera. My question is, is there any way to recover data from a SmartCard that's been damaged? It looks like the card is scratched a little and I suspect that the scratches are the problem and it's nothing I did by trying to mount the damn thing. Recommendations? I have a card reader at work that reads a couple types of camera media I'm gonna try and I may take it to a camera shop and see what they can do. Otherwise, I've lost some great pictures :-( Regards, Tim -- Caldera eWorkstation 3.1+, kernel 2.4.18-preempt, KDE 3.0.1, Xfree86 4.1.0 8:00pm up 19 days, 6:13, 5 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 It's what you learn AFTER you know it all that counts _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
