We are about to exceed my knowledge, as I have never used USB for anything other than thumb drives on MS Win*. I believe I asked about partitioning? If you do
sfdisk -l /dev/sdcwhat does it show? If you do a
dd if=/dev/sdc2 of=/dev/null
[root@frodo ~]# sfdisk -l /dev/sdc
Disk /dev/sdc: 38913 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 * 0+ 254 255- 2048256 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sdc2 255 38912 38658 310520385 83 Linux /dev/sdc3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/sdc4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
** I note that the file system on /dev/sdc2 is 'Linux' and not 'Linux LVM'. This is what I got, eventhough I created it with parted /dev/sdc mkpart ...
[root@frodo ~]# dd if=/dev/sdc2 of=/dev/null 12747056+0 records in 12747056+0 records out
** The above output is after letting dd running for few minutes; after that I killed the process because I was afraid it will take it too long.
Thank you for your help, Itay
