hej clemens,
is there a way to use a usb-flash-drive on ibook and x86. I got my stick mounted under x86/kernel2.6 as /dev/sda1 When i now want to mount it on the ibook, i have to use fdisk and initialize a new partition map like this: dump: name /dev/sda len 8/dev/sda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map /dev/sda2 Apple_Free Extra 128960 @ 64 ( 63.0M) Free space
I am using a flash-drive ('usb-stick') on my ibook and x86 pc with linux, mac os x and windows xp. All operating systems will discover an 'ibm-pc' partition (and if it is formatted in fat/vfat, all OS can also read/write to it). Under linux, you will need to have the msdos partition type support compiled in; I do not know if that is the case for the default kernel: CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y you can then use fdisk on x86 to create a partition which should be accessible from everywhere. bye Philipp Kaeser
