I've got a 4-in-1 USB card reader that can accomodate Sony MemoryStick and CF. To get started, I used directions from http://vic.dyndns.org/linux-UsbMassStorage/ and http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~ggbaker/personal/cf-linux Using sg_scan -i and sg_map, it was fairly easy to figure out things out. So I plugged in a MemoryStick and mounted it. No problems. However, next I tried the CF, using the same procedure (and remember, this is the same reader). And unfortunately, this one would not mount. I continually get: mount: block device /dev/sde1 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: /dev/sde1 is not a valid block device Note that sda1 and sdb1 are my scsi harddrives. Which means that the 4-in-1 card reader is mapped to sdc, sdd, sde and sdf. Through trial and error I figured out that the MemoryStick was sdf1. So for the CF, I tried the other 3, but each time got "not a valid block device". And yes, the CF card was in the reader. Relevant parts of lsmod are: scsi_mod usb-storage usb-uhci usbcore scsi_mod sr_mod sd_mod sg Any thoughts on what might be hanging up the CF, while the MemoryStick is working fine?
