Hi Guys,

OK, I am in an awkward situation ... My camera (Olympus 2020) uses
SmartMedia cards and provide a USB interface to connect with computers. I
can usually mount the camera as a vfat file system from device
"/dev/sda1". 

But today, the camera battery died in the middle of a "write" operation.
That corrupted the memory card. I can no longer take pictures with it but
I can still see stored images on the camera.

When I try to mount it using

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera -t vfat

it complains:

"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
       or too many mounted file systems"

I hope that my images are still on that card and only the super block is
broken.  Is there anyway I can try to repair this broken file system? I
know fsck but I have never tried it on a vfat system. Also, I want to know
whether there is anything else I can try before fsck.

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Michael
