I managed to get my original broken USB drive to work. 1.) Manually mount drive 2.) Copy files to local disk 3.) Format USB drive 4.) Use mkdosfs to create new FAT32 filesystem 5.) Copy files to USB drive
Now it works under Mac OSX (and OS9, actually), Linux and Windows and automounts under all of them. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo "drive i: file=\"/dev/sdb1\"" > ~/.mtoolsrc [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo minfo i: | grep disk\ type disk type="FAT32 " That's the magic. If that's blank (as it was orignally), then it doesn't automount. I'm still unsure as to why that particular attribute was set to blank, or by which OS. What I also found when the attribute was blank was that the drive failed to auto mount on Mac OSX. Only on Windows did it work. -- USB Thumb Drive can't mount anymore in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
