Mounting CompactFlash.. how?
My digital camera (and my soon-to-be mp3 player) take CompactFlash. Rather than use their respective shitty software on Windows, I want to just mount the CompactFlash card on my laptop. I have a CompactFlash to PCMCIA adaptor. In Windows I insert the card and it just shows up as another drive.
I read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt and saw created the nodes for /dev/flash0 and /dev/flash1 (so I could insert it into either slot, presumably?)
# ls -l /dev/flash*
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 31, 16 Sep 16 21:15 /dev/flash0
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 31, 17 Sep 16 21:16 /dev/flash1
I created a mount point, then I went to mount it, but mount gives "unknown device":
# mount -v /dev/flash0 /flash
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/flash0
I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/filesystems
Trying vfat
mount: /dev/flash0: unknown device
So I guess the real question is, what file systems are these? They're something standard if Windows can recognize them.
