I need some assistance in trying to format a USB hard drive to vfat format but can't seem to do so. I am currently using RHEL 5.3. I have tried the following commands and they all come back as "command not found"
mke2fs vfat /dev/sc1
fdisk vfat /dev/sdc1
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1
What am I doing incorrectly?? Can someone please point me in the right direction??
On one of my servers I see this when I log in. What does this mean and how can I get it to go away? Everything seems to work fine, but none of my other machines give this error.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a USB thumb drive that I just partitioned using the 'fdisk' utility in Linux. Now I am trying to learn the command that will allow me to format the drive as 'fat32' while also setting the disk label on the device as "ocz_usb" when the drive gets mounted. Does anyone know the command I would use that will format the USB drive and properly set the disk label at the same time?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use to know this command but lost it and did not note the entire command on my Linux cheat sheet. Someone once showed me a simple very easy command I could use to simple format a USB flash drive as FAT32 and in the same command also name the label of the drive.I have the device /dev/sdc1 and I am formatting this as FAT32 so it's compatible across multiple systems but also want the drive to have the name 'my_usb'.

My problem is that I am not able to format the drive to use it. I can not change the permissons or if I try to format I have all sorts of trouble. I have tried doing it on the home server running 6.10 and another pc running 10.10 and had no luck. Is there a better way? I have even tried chmod and chown with no luck.

I have a Linksys WRT54G with the Tomato firmware on it. So the system running on the router is Busybox 1.14., which as far as I know is Linux-based. I want to update the busybox to the newest version, using ipkg which is the only package manager it has installed on it. By the way, I use telnet to access the router. So I use # ipkg install (the url to newest busybox release) but at some point it stops and says:
mkdir: cannot create directory '//opt/usr/': Read-only file system
so what can I do? How can I make the filesystem read-write?

I am planning to keep the same three partitions as the primary partitions on the new drive and add few more logical partitions. I would have liked to move to GPT but since I need Win 7, I am stuck with MBR partiotion table.
Now, I understand how to partition an Advanced format disk, what I want to know is how to move the existing partitions on the 80 Gb disk to the new disk?
I use Clonezilla to copy partitions but it is not compatible unless both the target and the source disks are already using 4096 sector size.
I can use Acronis True Image WD Edition to clone Win 7 but how do I clone Ubuntu?
Also my Laptop's chipset is limited to SATA 1.5, will it cause any issues, I know the bandwidth is not an issue.
I have an external 3.5" USB 250Gb HDD which is showing symptoms of hardware problems (repeated /var/log/messages errors of "reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd"). This was originally plugged in to my NSLU2 running Debian Etch. I have just installed Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 to a spare Pentium-3M laptop and was hoping to copy the contents of this HDD to a fresh drive. However, I cannot mount it even read-only; mount -o ro /dev/sde3 /mnt/disk fails, and the /var/log/messages error is "recovery required on readonly filesystem", "write access unavailable, cannot proceed". I cannot understand why mounting a disk read-only should require write access. Following advice I googled elsewhere, I tried running mke2fs -n /dev/sde3 to try to list the alternative superblocks - but once again I got the error that the device was read-only. How can I go about accessing the data on this disk?

I have used standard CD-R's, and am using cdrecord (actually a symlink to wodim) while trying to burn an xfs filesystem. I have successfully burned iso9660 discs. I tried burning with and without the -pad option, but after burning, reading the resulting cd results in read errors. Do I need to use a specific mode? I think I just used -data.
I bought a RAVE car manual CD which wont read on either Linux or Windows, despite a 2nd one being sent. I have another RAVE CD which works fine on both systems. That is formatted to iso9660 but the latest ones are not.Are they not being formatted correctly, before being burnt or is there some other file system which should function nd if so how do I determine what FS is in use and ensure it's recognised?
