Hi,
I am still pretty new with my zaurus and linux trying to figure a lot out. I m running OZ 3.5.4.1 Kernel 2.6.16 and Opie 1.2.1 on a C860. I find that when I transfer a file from my XP through a card reader to my CF or SD card and then plug the card onto my Z, I don't see these files. However, when I reboot Z, the files finally appear and whatever changes i have made on my cards are shown on my File Manager. Does anybody know why this is happening? Do I need to reboot everytime I copy files over. I assume this has something to do with mounting the device. Is there someting I should do 1st before i plug and unplug my card. I appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks! Jeev |

Check the output of 'mount' in the terminal after you insert the card to check that it has been mounted. Si |

Si  Thanks Si and Xamindar, I was just wondering, should the CF card be unmounted everytime I unplug it from my Z and remounted when I replug it? I have reformatted the CF card with FAT on my XP. And then plugged it on Z and mounted on for example /media/cf by calling mount /dev/hda /media/cf Then I suspend my Z and unplugged my CF card. Plugged it onto my XP copied a test file onto it. And unplugged it from XP and replugged it onto Z. Turn my Z on looked at the 'proper' File Manager software on Opie and went into the /media/cf but didn't find the file I copied over. The Z shows that CF is mounted on /media/cf However, I then umount /media/cf and remount the CF onto /media/cf again and I see the transferred file! I assume that there is an unmounting and remounting of the CF that needs to be carried out whenever i unplug and replug my CF but doesn't seem to be carried out. Any idea what I can do? Btw, how do I find out what ROM i have installed. The information I can gather so far from my Z is shown in my signature below. Is my ROM version one of them? Sorry I am a newbie! Once again, thanks for your advice. Jeev |
