Any udev gurus here?
I have a Toshiba USB flash mem stick that has a separate "U3 Smart" ISO device that is intended for use with windoze. it is always automounted first and this makes it impossible to mount the flash device. ... No, the ISO partition cannot be deleted. It is ROM.
That sounds similar to the USB drive I have. That partition isn't ROM, but it is a compressed partition type that I couldn't get Linux to defeat. The manufacturer had a Windows only tool that could be used to delete both partitions so the drive could be used how I want it. I have since thought I probably could have used dd to have overwritten the whole drive, including the partition table, and I could have done it all in Linux, but that will have to wait for the next opportunity to try. HTH.
I have the same thing, but from Geeksquad. My suse 11.0 automounts both. Obviously, I can't do anything with the U3 -- not even delete it -- but it doesn't waste much room and doesn't otherwise interfere with my work, so I gave up after trying a couple of times. I've got some important stuff on mine right now, but I'll give the dd thing a try when I can, unless you get to it first.
