ok, after looking at some more threads on this problem, I've been able to repartition my key with 'fdisk /dev/sda' which returned no errors. Ok, thats good. Now I have to make the vfat fs.
Code: Select all
root@jonathan jon # mkfs.vfat /dev/sda
mkfs.vfat 2.10 (22 Sep 2003)
mkfs.vfat: Will not try to make filesystem on full-disk device '/dev/sda' (use -I if wanted)
That's interesting...
Code: Select all
root@jonathan jon # mkfs.vfat -I /dev/sda
mkfs.vfat 2.10 (22 Sep 2003)
Alright, I have a vfat fs on the key. Now I just need to mount it as vfat.
Code: Select all
root@jonathan jon # mount -t vfat /dev/sda /home/jon/usb
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems
Grrrr... I know I have vfat enabled in the kernel:

Is there something else I forgot to enable in the kernel?
BTW, I am using gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9-r9.
