Re: [maemo-developers] Re: Memory card corrupted or unformatted
Later I found the format thing in the File manager's menu. I didn't expect it to be there. I guess it'd be nice to also add it to the context menu of the memory card. Or simply ask the question "Do you want to format the memory card now?", after the first time the device finds out the card is "unformatted or corrupted". ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Next time you could try to do something like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ bs=512 count=1000 before the mkfs.vfat command, because I think mkfs does not clear the device so well before formatting it. There will be improvement for these issues in the OS2006 release (including MMC partitioning support).
