Title: Sd Card Question
Post by: clown on July 12, 2005, 01:34:52 pm

I have a Sharp SL-5500 with Open Zaurus installed. I would like to mount my 1gb RiDATA sd card on my SL-5500. When I go to mount it (mount /dev/mmcda1 /mnt/mmcda1) I get this:

root@collie#mount /dev/mmcda1 /mnt/mmcda1
mount: Mounting /dev/mmcda1 on /mnt/mmcda1
failed: Invalid argument
root@collie#

I don't understand what the invalid argument is  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dmesg shows this:

mmcda: mmcda1
sd: cmd[18] response [5]
FAT:bogus logical sector size 0
VFS: Can't find valid FAT filesystem on device 2c:01
VFS:Disk change detected on device mmcda1 (60,1)

On a side note, I can get the sd card to mount on my gentoo dekstop with no problems.

It might mean that it can't guess the partition type (though I'm not sure)

It is using fat16 partition type, and I have tried mounting it with the -t vfat option to which I get the same failed message.

*edit: I got it working. Ran fdisk, and re-wrote the fat partition, all is working good now.
