Both are in portage. Well, that's the thing: I'm not sure that there is a mess. At least not a= s=20 far as parted is concerned, which can read the partition table properly. =20 I suspect that fdisk (unlike parted) is not capable of reading the device=20 correctly. I forgot to say that when mounted the USB stick shows not partitions (i.e.= =20 there is no sdb1, sdb2, etc.) To access the fs I must do something like: pmount /dev/sdb and then all is lists under /media/sdb. It is like a big floppy. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart2104874.KposO3mNP1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk6KlzYACgkQVTDTR3kpaLYuzACgl5G6TFIl1CpB4qjR/ItAk65k RzcAoKBrqXTp0wZRQOJhCFnW66sNlXUo =uMMB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2104874.KposO3mNP1--
