I recently received an 8GB usb stick that fails to mount on my fully
patched CentOS 6.5 desktop machine.
The stick works just fine on a windoze 7 laptop (my daughter's) with
no special drivers installed.
most USB sticks are formatted FAT32
Also keep in mind that the partition type is only a *hint*. It's just a flag that's set in the partition. What is actually in the partition does not need to match what is on the disk.
Some utilities will use it for autodetection purposes, etc., and some will completely ignore it and blindly do whatever you ask.
"file" is a good tool to find out what's actually on the partition.
tried VFAT, NTFS, HFS HFSPLUS MSDOS - all gave error messages
& USBFS
the usbfs did mount and gave me seven directories named 001 through 007
and one file called "devices" - this in no way resembles what is
actually on the usb drive.
file when applied /dev/sdf/(1) indicted a block device - nothing else
helpful.
I guess there is thus a new ntfs format out there that ntfs-3g does not
recognise.
Any other way to read / deal with this??
