the fdisk command i gave you could read the partition table fine. (it didnt register them, just print)
the code thats handling the automounting (/shr) should'v discovered the partitions by running the same command but apparently that didnt work. (otherwise, the dos partition should'v shown up in /dev/sdU*) i can not reproduce this on my systems and i need further information to debug this issue. i would like you to: pulling and replugging the usb device and watch the screen to see if there are messages showing up. (you can also run cat /dev/kprint in a rio window to capture the console output (make sure to make the window scrolling)) try a different dos formatted usb drive. -- cinap
