I've not before needed to format an SD card (of any size) in the computer.
Now I have a couple of SunDisk 32G microSD cards for the Sir Gawain
mini-camera that need formatting.
I put the microSD card in an SD adapter, and the latter in a USB holder
inserted in a desktop USB port.
Running 'tail -f /var/log/messages' produces:

I'm used to seeing devices as sd(x). Does the above mean the microSD card is
already vfat formatted?
