Re: [PLUG] USB memory stick

I tried to use a USB memory stick yesterday. It looks like my kernel
(2.6.12) was fine with it, but then things didn't work out. Yet the
memory stick's owner said it worked fine on Windows and Mac boxes.
Any thoughts what I might have missed? The log entries follow:

Looking good. Not sure if this is the device-level enumeration or the
mass-storage yet.

Definitely mass-storage here. Your kernel said READ_CAPACITY and the
device replied that it has sectors of 512 bytes and 503808 of them.

Hmmm. A little odd to be repeating that.......

Lun 0. OK. Only one logical storage medium/disk.

50,837,884 > 503,808
A mass storage device appears as a linear array of sectors to the
kernel...er fs, whichever. The deviec informed us earlier that it has
only 503808 of these sectors. Why on earth would the kernel be trying
to look at logical sector 50,837,884? Could there be a funky partition
table on the device? Can you read the partition table using "fdisk
/dev/sdc" ?
I have some mods I've made to a 2.6.10 kernel for looking a little
deeper into the mass-storage communication. It is just some more
verbose debugging. Let me know if you'd like them.
