Michel Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 A question..I just have memory-stick. I put info on it using Mandrake. At school we have Redhat and windows. Redhat hasn't supermount, so I tried windows, but windows said there was nothing on it.... I checked again at home and the info is definitley on the memory-stick!. Ok, you wan manually mount in Redhat on sda I believe , not..but I never tried that before with memorysticks and I had not much time...But why can't I see the info using windows????I suppose there is no special driver required, since I can use Mandrake/linux to watch it...

Gowator Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 I had a similar problem with the floppy. I copy over and it shows in the /mnt/floppy but it isn't there. Its cached, if I wait 3 mins or so the FDD starts up and it actually copies.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted June 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 I checked again back at home like I mentionnned a day after I copied it and the computer was turned of(yes that happens:)) in the meanwhile and it was on the memoery-stick!!, so caching is not the cause. Or did I understand something wrong?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Dunno, I know its acting strange on my /mnt/floppy Difference is i get an audible notification when its actually written. It appears there, I can open the files from Konqueror but unmount (specifically) take the disk out and take it to the other machine and its empty. It just occured it might be doing the same with your memory stick.... Drove me mad for ages becuase I was coming into work and though it was a FAT writing problem or something because the disk was empty. Just an idea, maybe a cp to /tmp from the memory stick would force a delayed write.... havn't tried it specifically... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted June 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 For your prob there is a solution, so that teh info is written immediatley, but normally this is a default-valye in MAndrake I believe:). it's "sync" I think..tried this???
