Hello all, [snip] I don't get it .. Also, I mounted a couple other coworkers USB devices and one came up with four empty partitions, hdb1 through hdb4, with no files, even though he had files on it - FAT formatted. Another coworkers USB device appeared to mount halfway in the dmesg output and then nothing.
I have found similar issues with USB flash memory (pen drives) 4 empty FAT partitions 3 of zero size and one the size of the drive, and unable to read or write to it, but fine under 'doze as a single partition. Reformatted as FAT under SuSe and it works fine now on both 'doze and SuSe.
Could you please be a bit more specific about how you formatted it (as FAT) under SuSE? I've looked at the Partitioner in Yast but seeing 4 SDA (1 - 4) partitions - quite apart from the main SDA partition - I am not sure which one to format or even if I should delete Sda 2, 3 and 4 and then format Sda1. So, would appreciate a bit of detail about how you did formatting. Cheers. -- All Scottish food is based on a dare.
