Formatting a Thumb Drive
I'm trying to use Monta Vista Linux 3.1 on an embedded system and trying to mount a USB thumb drive but failing. Do I need to format teh USB drive using Linux first?

No, assuming that support for FAT 16/32 is included in the kernel (which generally should be).
What type of errors are you getting? |
When I try to mount a thumb drive on a Monta Vista Linux 3.1 Embedded System I get an Error.
When I plug in the USB Drive I get this message: # hub.c: new USB device CYEZ-Host-1, assigned address 2 scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: Memorex Model: Mini TravelDrive Rev: 6.51 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 SCSI device sda: 1952767 512-byte hdwr sectors (1000 MB) sda: Write Protect is off Partition check: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p3 p4 WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured USB Mass Storage device found at 2 Here's the command I type: # mount -t vfat /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/usbcf I then get the following error: Raw sense data:0x70 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0a 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 I/O error: dev 08:01, sector 0 FAT: unable to read boot sector mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1, or too many mounted file systems When I check to see what's mounted I get this # mount rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) /dev/root on / type ext2 (rw) none on /dev type devfs (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) I don't build the Linux Kernel, it is provided in an application note. Any idea why I can't mount the drive (a USB 2.0 Memorex Thumb Drive) to see what's on it? |

Tried that, now I get that error 8 times since it is failing each sector.
