Hello,
I just got a curious problem.
Some time ago I used studio writer to write a network install cd to an usb flash key. Nothing wrong in this (I could install a netbook with it).
Just now I needed this key to hold scanned images. My HP all in one can scan and store directly on such a key.
Of course the printer do not know other than fat system.
I
* removed the only partition on the key with fdisk. YaST can't (because parted can't). This is a small partition, the cd image itself.
then I created a new 900Mb partition (it's a 1Gb key) with yast and still with yast formatted it with fat.
I could with no problem use it on the HP printer/copier and write there my jpegs
I can read them on the printer (if ever I wanted to print them)
But if I plug the device in my 12.1, I get two devices, one "generic usb", the other openSUSE-Net and the last mounts and shows the net cd file list (and the file are there, I can read them, at least part of them - not tried all)
To read my images, I had to umount this net iso and manually mount /dev/sde1 - after that it reads without problem in Dolphin.
looks like there are two content tables (and the images are small, so most disk sectors are not overwritten)
I wonder why I had this result. Is it necessary to post a bugzilla ?
thanks jdd
Hi Run fdisk -l it will probably show a p1 partition, delete all the partitions with fdisk and re-run YaST partitioner over it again to recover. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64) Kernel 3.1.0-1.2-desktop up 2 days 23:32, 4 users, load average: 0.17, 0.17, 0.33 CPU Intel i5 CPU M520@2.40GHz | Intel Arrandale GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
