Re: this mornings update bricked my pi.
You update way too often and it's a crap shoot. You can possibly fix
that SD by replacing the kernel or bootloader, something like that now
that you have a way to get into it. I have an old amd64 laptop with a
Debian I hadn't updated since last summer. Dug it out, compiled
cpuminer on it and cpu mined Litecoin for a week or so. Then my used
asic miner came from China so I compiled a cgminer and now that's
hooked up over USB. Maybe I did an update, and something I fetched
replaced one of its dependencies, other than that it's still the way
it was last summer, working fine. Getting rich, no, maybe tonight
I'll make it to 0.1 Litecoin worth about $15. But I got the bug I
guess, ordered a small Bitcoin mining asic. There's a whole crazy
culture of miners out there and you have to spend days RTFMing.
Except if you don't plan to invest thousands in off the shelf
equipment all the answers are buried in the forums at
https://bitcointalk.org/
I blew up an i386 Debian once by upgrading. Something replaced a
kernel and I can change it back except that doesn't find its modules
or some such. So that partition on that machine sits dormant. I
wasn't sticking to stable though.
fat32 should be readable by Linux, I just had to install exfat (AKA
NTFS) to read my camera's SD card. fat32 is what Android uses for SD
cards. Fdisk, gfdisk, parted, gparted should all show the partitions.
480 gigs would be almost half a terabyte, you're seeing 1/1000 of
that. gparted is good, I've got some live CDs with it. You think
you're in a mess now... heh heh
Oh, fat32 has a limitation of 32 gigs, at least that's all Microsoft
supports. You're probably only seeing 1 partition, but maybe that's
all there is too. I had a fat32 partition over 32 gigs once and some
stupid Microsoft program deleted it because it didn't like it.

No, I won't call it "climate change", do you have a "reality problem"? - AB1JX
