Hi
I have an SD card in my EeePC and it is auto mounted at boot. I am trying to format it but it wont let me unmount it using the format or disk utilty.
I configured it using Storage Device Manager which is a front end for fstab.
Options set are: defaults,uid=1000,umask=0
It is a FAT32 formatted SD card. I am having problems with DropBox and one of the suggestions is to format it to ext3 or ext4. I can unmount it in Storage Device Manager, but then I cant format it.
Any ideas?
Be careful - it has fils on it which if removed, might make it unmountable.
EWRONG. This has certainly not been the case for at least 6 years, and I don't believe it was ever the case.
(otherwise, given that your average digital camera does the equiv of a mkfs.vfat on your SD card when you tell it to format, all SD cards would be immediately broken...)
I formatted a Kingston DT Mini 1 GB USB flash, and neither Debian nor Xandros will have anything to do with it.
(So there!)
