Can't cfdisk it anymore.

Jul 24 19:46:38 which kernel version and whit inode size did you set? Jul 24 20:08:53 they were both formatted with the plug that errors with them, with whatever settings are defaults when they're undefined, kernel's Linux ubuntu 2.6.32.7 #5 PREEMPT Wed Feb 10 21:09:39 GMT 2010 armv5tel GNU/Linux, associated forum post with more detail is: http://www.newit.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,511.0.html Jul 24 20:23:36 NginUS: what brand and model of drive are you using? Jul 24 20:25:24 One's an old 1GB Sandisk Cruzer, the other's a 2-day old 16GB GigaWare SDCZRSP-016G / BL1004NXNB- same probs on each. Trying a new kernel/OS now- same so far Jul 24 20:52:47 hmm, at least the economy's rebounding- somewhere in the world. Jul 24 20:56:33 tinker-f595 : Same problems on partition & f/s made on a different, much more current system- detail posted to previously mentioned forum thread. Jul 24 21:17:15 NginUS: you would get much better responses if you used the plugcomputer forum Jul 24 21:18:36 tinker-f595 : I use the forum for the manufacturer of the plug, because the moderators are the same as who handles email support & billing. Jul 24 21:19:16 NginUS: Newit is not the manufacturer of the plug. They are just a retailer Jul 24 21:21:14 It's who I send it back to for a re-flash when I can't boot either the NAND or the SD OS's. I just got the SD card backed up, thx to an eSATA drive- would've liked to been able to use the USB for that to have a key, too. Jul 24 21:21:21 That's big progress to me. Jul 24 21:22:34 Sandisk Cruzer drives are not linux compatible unless you deinstall the U3 software from it. Jul 24 21:22:57 The U3 software causes problems Jul 24 21:22:58 Yup, been stripped for years Jul 24 21:23:09 There was an app for it as I remember Jul 24 21:23:19 They are over priced junk Jul 24 21:23:43 that made it not come back with it's special, super-annoying partition Jul 24 21:24:00 eh, it works for little stuff here & there Jul 24 21:24:03 You owuld get much better information from the plugcomputer forum than newit Jul 24 21:25:23 but if you do not want a good source of information that is your problem Jul 24 21:28:04 It looks like the gigaware is a rebranded sandisk Jul 24 21:28:46 At this point, I'll stay where I am with it, especially since it may be the port at fault. If I come back to NewIT & ask for them to replace the plug because the port's bad, they know it was only them using my eyes & hands to do stuff to it & no-one else broke it. Jul 24 21:29:16 Not surprising- Radio Shack special $40 US. Jul 24 21:33:00 do you a usb hard drive? Jul 24 21:33:34 or a different brand of usb flash drive? Jul 24 21:34:15 I used an eSATA for the dd img, worked great. Jul 24 21:35:37 Oh, I see. Um. Just those 2 thumbdrives. And a Seagate FreeAgent Xtreem, but I can't risk plugging that into anything even remotely sketchy. It lives in a safe. Jul 24 21:38:47 that means you never use the Seagate ;) Jul 24 21:39:10 No, it's a weekly backup for the windows server Jul 24 21:40:37 Has the server image, business records, my dead parents' computers, all the family photos, that stuff. Jul 24 21:43:54 yes but Windows is extremely sketchy ;) Jul 24 21:48:30 Yes, which is why I'm on this mission to use the Sheeva to give the Drobo to NexentaStor via iSCSI so I can have the zfs checksums. Windows had lost at least 2 7-zip archives in the last 3 years during normal copy operations. Now everything I do is in TeraCopy or DirSyncPro, which do checksums on their I/O, although they're manual when it comes to re-doing a failed transfer. Jul 24 21:48:54 lost= introduced corruption Jul 24 21:55:06 need to go out now... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jul 25 02:59:57 2010
