https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=235520 ------- Comment #3 from abrahams@acm.org 2007-01-17 18:40 MST ------- Because of a screwup on my part, the Windows output in my previous comment is incorrect; I was accessing the wrong drive. I also did some more experiments. I have two MO disks: 1. Disk #1 is readable on neither system and cannot be formatted on either system. The attempt to format it under Linux is shown in the previous comment. Windows will format it using a full FAT32 format but then can't read it. 2. Disk #2 is an older disk. It can be read under Windows but not under Linux, where it indicates a bad superblock. The format of that one vfat/FAT32. Now here's where it gets even more interesting. If I do a quick FAT32 format under Windows, the resulting disk can be read on either system. Not true for a full FAT32 format, though. All this may be confusing -- but the one clear indicator of a bug is that mkfs.vfat will exit successfully but the resulting disk has a bad superblock. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
