There is no volume.fstype property set, however. There seem to be *two* entries that are of interest (have usb.vendor_id and usb.product_id values that match my particular camera). I pasted the two sections here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/yjnTtn10.nln.html">http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/yjnTtn10.nln.html</a> </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Also, it might be useful to reformat the media either from the camera or from a PC; some cameras have rather dodgy FAT implementations. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">[...] I was unable to format the card via Linux (Fedora Core pre-4 using the latest development/rawhide RPMs). # mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 mkfs.vfat 2.10 (22 Sep 2003) /dev/sda1: No medium found I tried formatting from a Windows XP Pro command line using 'format E: /FS:FAT /Q' (not FAT32). Disclaimer: I really have no idea what I'm doing on Windows. However, the camera seemed to work with the SD Flash card after FAT formatting on Windows, but I still get "no medium found" when I try to mount it. I also had a new iMac handy. It seems to properly recognize the device as a USB Mass Storage compatible device and immediately downloaded photos after I plugged in the camera. By the way, the vendor ID for this camera is 0x4da, the product id is 0x2373. </pre> </blockquote> Which kernel version are you using? I seem to remember a bug with 2.6.10 kernels and vfat. Check dmesg for "Unable to load NLS charset" messages. Cheers Peter </body> </html>
