cannot partition dane-elec usb stick

[vleutmans]

Hi all,

somehow I cannot partition my dane-elec 8GB usb stick.
One time, the usb stick is recognized and readable (empty=correct), but I cannot create a new partition on it using fdisk (done from router itself).
When I unplug the stick , then "sometimes" it readable, but most of the time i get response like "unable to read /dev/discs/disc0/disc"

The usb stick "can" be fully working on windows, with a successful "full format" in fat32 or ntfs with no issues at all.

Are there known compatibility issues with wl500g and some new usb sticks , like this one?

btw. i've used a kingston usb stick 8gb some time ago with success.

Br.

Michel

Hi,

What firmware are you running? oleg's? (which I presume because you're trying to create partitions on the router)

you sure that it is disc0?
unplug the router from the mains.
plug in the usb-flash-key.
plug in the power adapter and let the router boot.
log in with putty and run 'df' command.
What does it output?
