Try to mount or formart or do anything to my usb pen drive.
Dmesg can see it. I did a cfdisk /dev/sdc and made a fat16 partition.
fdisk -l see's it fine.
here is dmesg | tail:
| Code: |
sdc: Write Protect is off
sdc: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00
sdc: assuming drive cache: write through
sdc: sdc1
sd 12:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdc
usb-storage: device scan complete
FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sdc.

looks like there's a problem with the format of the pen drive... try to format it if you can to FAT.

I emerged dosfsutils and tried it.
I even tried putting the drive into a windows box. Formatted with FAT, same thing. Tried FAT32, same thing.

OK I figured it out.
I was under the impression you could mount /dev/sdc and it would work.
Nope you have to be exact as to what slice: /dev/sdc1
