Hello:
I have a usb flash disk with one partition. I have formatted this partition in openSUSE 12.2 using mkfs.vfat. The formatted partition could be mounted in openSUSE and in Windows XP, but my media player could not see the partition (gave error message) and Mac OSX could not mount it either. I have reformatted the partition in the Mac (I can't remember the application's name) and now the disk is usable in my media player along with Mac OSX, openSUSE and Windows.
My question: what is missing in openSUSE mkfs.vfat that the formatted partition is not functional everywhere? How could I make fat32 formatted partition in openSUSE which is usable in my media player and is mountable in Mac OSX?
Thanks,
Istvan
I'd like to know more about the details of this. I have a Mac I can dual boot into MacOS, but I rarely do that. If you tell me what tool you used on both openSUSE and the Mac and the size of the flash drive I could try to duplicate it. Fyi: I have some filesystem analysis tools so I could send some reasonably detailed bug reports upstream. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
