Hello,
        Happy Thanksgiving!
I have a USB thumb drive that is formatted as FAT16 and does not have MBR. I am unable to mount it. By looking at the function msdos_partition (...) in the function .../fs/partitions/msdos.c, it appears to me that if the MBR in media is absent, then the filesystem will not mount. The information about my setup is

Platform: Blackfin uClinux
Kernel: 2.4.8 (There I go again with my antique kernel if anyone recognize me with my previous e-mails!!!)

Please let me know if anyone knows a workaround or I am on my own. Thanks!

Cheers
Amol

Hei!

How did you try to mount it? Have you remembered to use the "raw" device (i.e. sda instead of sda1)?

Regards,
Nicolas
