Your device does not have a partition table, instead the filesystem occupies the whole device (sometimes referred to as a "superfloppy" format). There's nothing wrong with this, I have a couple of USB sticks like it, and my Nexus S is the same. Your automounter should still pick it up. --=20 Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 33: American history --Sig_/neuYTN2.BWPSLfK3fNbbXyr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk6jJeMACgkQum4al0N1GQOt8ACgia25mc16R8Gj0N3pOUcCvyCS vYUAoIIxhdXKnE0IdSqU3nt81lPmrPpQ =Pmut -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/neuYTN2.BWPSLfK3fNbbXyr--
