BFS formatted USB memory stick not found

[haiqu]

Formatted a 2Gb Toshiba memory stick and copied the sources to it. On the next boot, I could not mount the drive as it does not appear in the mount menu.

The device seems to be present, but not recognised with this formatting. A stick with FAT format inserted into the same slot is mounted immediately and automatically.

[haiqu]

Correction, it was initialized with BFS, not formatted.

Can you please provide a syslog? If the stick worked at first and then doesn't after a reboot then it's most probably not a USB problem. In that case the filesystem probably got corrupted.

[haiqu]

Sure, no problem. I just took my 2Gb stick and did the following:

1. Formatted it to FAT32 under WinXP
2. Booted Haiku and inserted it into the onboard USB slots, and into the slots on a USB card I have in my development computer, and ensured that it mounted on both.
3. Initialized the stick to BFS.
4. Rebooted. NO STICK.

Taking it out and reinserting to the other bus gives me this:

Seems like it's trying everything except BFS.

Replying to haiqu:

Taking it out and reinserting to the other bus gives me this: Seems like it's trying everything except BFS.

Because 20 lines are most probably not enough. Please just attach full syslogs as they do contain all the information where someone can then read out the relevant stuff. This is easier than explaining what parts to capture every time. In any case this is not a USB problem as the stick obviously works. USB only provides the data transport and does not affect the filesystem operations that seem to go wrong here.

[mmlr]

Any news on this?

[haiqu]

It's better. I can mount, copy to and extract data from a BFS formatted USB stick now. Unmounting causes a kernel page fault.

[mmlr]

Sounds like this has been fixed.
