USB-Memory and Linux? by phenyl 2002-07-24 01:45:56
Hello UFies I just bought one of these 128 MB USB-keychain-"drives"
I'd like to use it under redhat (Kernel 2.4.7-10smp).
I manage to mount it and see the data, but I cannot copy anything on it. fdisk -l yields the following:
Disk /dev/sdc: 5 heads, 51 sectors, 1005 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 255 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
I made the directory /mnt/keydisk and then
mount /dev/sdc /mnt/keydisk
I can see the data on the drive, copy it to my pc. If I try to copy something to it, and make a ls, the files seem to be there.
But after a umount /mnt/keydisk and mounting back, there are only the files left which were already there.
I think I am overlooking something, but didn't figure out what...

Thanks for any hints
