Hi,
I just acquired a 1GB Lexar JumpDrive Sport and it came pre-formatted with a FAT-16 file system (gack!):
% file -s /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc1: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x3c, OEM-ID "MSWIN4.1", sectors/cluster 32, root entries 512, Media descriptor 0xf8, sectors/FAT 248, hiddensectors 32, sectors 2030560 (volumes > 32 MB) , serial number 0x0, unlabeled, FAT (16 bit)
How might I go about putting a more rational file system on that device, given them my system accesses it via the whole subfs / automount business (which I really don't understand at all).
I have not had any luck coming up with a fruitful Google search on this topic.
mkfs.xfs /dev/sdc1 would put an xfs filesystem on the drive, or whatever filesystem you want to use. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
