[gentoo-user] Mounting micro SD cards

[gentoo-user] Mounting micro SD cards

[felix]

I want a bigger micro SD card in my cell phone it came with just 2GB),
so I bought a 16GB one complete with carrier to fit in a standard SD
slot.  My plan was to turn off the phone, remove the 2GB micro SD
card, make a tarball of what is on there, put in the 16GB one and
untar things, and put the 16GB one in the phone.

No luck.  /dev shows for devices, sd[fghi], and neither mount nor
fdisk knows what to do with them.  /var/log/messages has this:

I don't remember now if this was the 2GB or 16GB micro SD card, but I
know it wasn't 2TB!

Is there some trick to reading micro SD cards?  I read the SD card
from a camera often with no problems, and it is 1 or 2 GB.  If it
matters any, this micro 16GB SD card and its carrier are Polaroid.


I suppose I could just USB mount the phone with the 2GB card, copy off
everything, mount the phone with the 16GB card and copy everything back.

I had a similar issue with the 8G (class 4) card I got for my phone. No matter 
what I did, it wouldn't work in the SD slot. Other cards did, but not that 
one.

Eventually I just stuck it in a multi-card expansion unit that plugs into USB 
and it worked just fine. I suspect issues with the card itself - possibly 
timing related and this confuses the controller. But I never proved this one 
way or another.

Maybe you can try a similar USB unit? They are dirt cheap.

My on-board SD controller for comparison:

Since it shows the capacity wrong I think it looks like maybe you do
not have an SDHC card reader but only an SD card reader. For cards
over 2GB you need SDHC, they use completely different addressing
systems.
