unable to format usb stick ?strange things happening as well!!!
Hi all,
I have a pendrive that is fat formatted... It was being detected so far on solairs...but now during the re-installation of solaris ,i did not remove the drive and guess i screwed it up... since then , i am unable to use it...guess its now not formatted or is corrupt... but the irony is ,when i insert it into xp,it says "not formatted"... when i insert into soaris through a usb hub its not detecting.... nothing in /media/ but if i connect it to the physical port then it works ,and i can look into its contents... again here also i am unable to install many pkg that i have in it... get an I/O error!!! First of all, how can this be possible? secondly i tried formatting this using the rmformat and this is what i got!!! Code:
bash-3.2# rmformat -l
Looking for devices...
1. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0p0
Physical Node: /pci@0,0/pci-ide@6/ide@0/sd@1,0
Connected Device: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S182D SB03
Device Type: DVD Reader/Writer
Bus: IDE
Size: 681.6 MB
Label: <None>
Access permissions: Medium is not write protected.
2. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0
Physical Node: /pci@0,0/pci1043,8234@2/storage@4/disk@0,0
Connected Device: USB FLASH DRIVE PMAP
Device Type: Removable
Bus: USB
Size: 984.0 MB
Label: <None>
Access permissions: Medium is not write protected.
bash-3.2# rmformat -F long /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0
Formatting will erase all the data on disk.
Do you want to continue? (y/n)y
bash-3.2# mkfs -F pcfs /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0
Device /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0 was assumed to be a diskette.
A diskette specific operation failed on this device.
If the device is a hard disk, provide the name of the full physical disk,
and qualify that name with a logical drive specifier.
Hint: the device is usually something similar to
/dev/rdsk/c0d0p0 or /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0p0 (x86)
/dev/rdsk/c0t5d0s2 (sparc)
The drive specifier is appended to the device name. For example:
/dev/rdsk/c0t5d0s2:c or /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0:boot
bash-3.2#

.So much so that i dont have xp installed at all... stuff that dont work on solaris, i dont need them!!!!! Secondly, Pls read my first post carefully, i have tried formatting but i can only get upto the sec stage...there on i cant format it... But the strange thing is when i load it up in xp it say unformatted and provides me an option to format .... However in solaris i can see all my files .... The strangest of all is that am able to use some of the files directly off it but some installation apps give an I/O error when i try installing... even if i cp it to my HD its the same issues? So wanted to know how this is possible? |
