I suspect the card reader is not capable. Yesterday I contacted maplin.co.uk about a reader that was advertised as supporting every type of card, asking if it could write 16/32GB microSD cards and the answer was no. It would seem many of these readers are crippled. The following transaction is exactly what happens:- # fdisk /dev/sdf Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdf: 33.6 GB, 33554432000 bytes 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 32000 cylinders, total 65536000 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0004e19d Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdf1 * 32 2097184 1048576+ e W95 FAT16 (LBA) /dev/sdf2 2097185 65535999 31719407+ 83 Linux Command (m for help): q slipstream:/home/lancelot # fsck.ext4 -c /dev/sdf2 e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) fsck.ext4: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks... fsck.ext4: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdf2 The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem.
