Cool! Certainly for me i find usbpen's to be a little weird sometimes under linux. They often work but with some strange behaviour as we've seen here. :) Martin. On Fri, April 15, 2005 15:25, Grant Sewell said:

There was a version of 2.6 kernel where USB mass storage device was hopelessly broken. Not sure which it was but worth bearing in mind. Oops, hang on. 2.6.10 should be fine, it was something like 2.6.3. I know i've used 2.6.9 and 11 with usbpens so it isn't that. If you've nothing much on there to loose would it be worth formatting it from within linux? Never tried that so don't know if it would work out or not... Martin.OK, I just did as you suggested... sort of. It would appear to now be working fine, when I don't give it any partitions at all but put the filesystem straight on the drive: # mkfs.vfat -I -F 32 /dev/sda mkfs.vfat 2.10 (22 Sep 2003) # mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/pendrive # df -h | grep -i "pendrive" /dev/sda 489M 4.0K 489M 1% /mnt/pendrive Cheers all.
