SD card weirdness on Cacko 1.21b
« on: November 11, 2004, 09:17:11 pm »
I'm running Cacko 1.21b on an SL-C760. I have 2 SD cards, my old 256MB and a just-purchased 512MB, both formatted with VFAT. Using an SD card reader I copied over all of the data from the old card to my laptop's hard drive (using tar) and then unpacked it to the new card.

In the new card I'm missing a lot of files that seem to be taking up space in the card. Doing a df -k gives me 233,584 K used in the card; however, doing a du -sk on the card's root I get 152 K. The old card gives me similar results in both cases (231,496 K with df, 231,480 with df).

I already tried reformatting the card and copying the data again, and get the same results. I also tried formatting the card as ext2 but my PowerBook doesn't seem to recognize it (even though I've installed the ext2fs for OS X package).

Never mind, I just tried doing du -sk on the laptop and got a bunch of files containing gibberish, I might be stuck with a busted SD card.  I guess this topic will stay here since I haven't found a way of deleting a topic, only of editing it.

Has anybody heard of an SD card brand called "extrememory"?
