Semi-OT? I just got a new SanDisk 8GB flash drive, and, as usual, it came with the U3 software (for Windoze) on a "CD" partition and considerably less than 8GB on the disk partition. I put it into my WinXP portable and told U3 to delete itself, but I still can't get at the old U3 part of the drive. I've tried WinXP's format command, disk management and CentOS's fdisk,

I've noticed that once I right click on my flash drive icon and umount it, in order to remount it I have to unplug it and then plug it back in. Is there a command that will accomplish the same task without the unplug and plug back in physics? Thanks. mhr

This occasionally happens to me when I've been editing an OOo document that resides on a flash drive I use with one of my laptops. I've tried poking around in ps to find out which process has the drive locked, and I can't figure it out. Nothing directly refers to the flash drive except one of the hald processes, and it's just scanning the drive (I tried killing that and it made

Whenever I format a flash drive I'm always terrified that I'm going to fat-finger something in the terminal and accidentally blow away a partition on one of my hard drives. *shudder* Is gparted the best gui to handle this task? Or is there something better? I'd really prefer something more limited that just allows me to select whatever it sees as a removable drive and disallows any

Hello, Im trying to learn syslinux and want to create a multiboot flashdrive, which will have more than one liveCD available for booting. I've installed a simple live cd (secure linux live cd disk#1) to my Fat32 partition. It boots well. Now i want to add another live CD (geexbox disk#2) to boot from the same Fat32 partition. I need to copy some files from live cd (geexbox) and add them

Has anyone worked with either the Hitachi or Seagate Compact flash drives in an IDE to CF interface and set the up with EXT3 formatted partitions for use with LVM? I ASSuME that LVM is not for FAT32 formatted drives.

I would like to boot Ubuntu 8.04 i386 from my USB flash drive.

I have a plain vanilla Centos source (not 100% sure where we got it from), but I can't seem to get a build that installs correctly. I tried the method described at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel, but rpm doesn't like the output file, and even if I install it with -F, nothing seems to happen - no new kernel, now initrd, nothing. When I tried following the directions in the

How well suited is btrfs to low-end and high-end FLASH devices? Paraphrasing from a thread elsewhere: FLASH can be categorised into two classes, which have extremely different characteristics: (a) the low-end (USB, SDHC, CF, cheap ATA SSD); and (b) the high-end (SAS, PCIe, NAS, expensive ATA SSD). My own experience is that the low end (a) can have erase blocks as large as 4MBytes or more

Hi, I am running rsync on MacOS 10.3 and I want to transfer files to a linux machine, which has linux partitions and fat32 partitions. Transfering the files to the linux partition works without problems, but if I transfer them to the fat32 partition, files are ignored if all characters in the file name are UPPER CASE. - The files which rsync should transfer do not exist in the target directory.

This patch series adds stable bus and slot numbers for removable drives (CDs and floppies) when the guest is converted using virt-v2v or virt-p2v. Previously we were a bit random about this.

How can I resize this 12MB partition to grow and fill the whole 512MB drive? Just in case I am being stupid, here is what I am doing... :-) I would like a quick USB drive that
