Title: z-760 mounting the SD as read only rather than read write
Post by: obs1 on October 20, 2003, 06:44:43 pm

Hi all,

I recently got my new sl-760 from Conics and have been having problems finding a suitable SD card which mounts as read/write rather than r/o.

I tested the following brands:
SanDis 256mb
Kingston 128
and a few others.

What I did till now:

Tried the following (trying to force rw mounting):

Code: [Select]

umount /dev/mmcda1

mount /dev/mmcda1 /mnt/card -o rw

Also tried to format the card:

Code: [Select]

umount /dev/mmcda1

mkfs.msdos /dev/mmcda1

mount /dev/mmcda1 /mnt/card

I tried these using the original Sharp ROM as well as after flashing the 760 with the English ROM (http://killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1312) - with the same effect.

As for CF - I have no problem mounting it as RW. Does anyone have this problem?
