I got an new flashdisk from the vendor, but managed to ruin it again. anyway, I also managed to repair it again. the vendor ships a seperate formating-tool, which will repair the device, even when you get "SCSI sense key errors". however, I still don't understand what's going on and *why* it is not allowed to format the drive "at will". I'd also would like to know how this vendor supplied formating-tool works. Possibly some vendor-specific usb-commands to ... do what? hm. I can only guess. I purchased another driver (TraxData, USB-1, 6 euros cheaper and it my mainboard can even boot from this device). by the way: the manufacturer is Panram, www.panram.com.tw/ ... does anyone of you have experience with them? Is it likely that one gets documentation from them? thx h.rosmanith - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
