hej clemens,
is there a way to use a usb-flash-drive on ibook and x86.
I got my stick mounted under x86/kernel2.6 as /dev/sda1
When i now want to mount it on the ibook, i have to use
fdisk and initialize a new partition map like this:
dump: name /dev/sda len 8
/dev/sda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 (
31.5k) Partition map
/dev/sda2 Apple_Free Extra 128960 @ 64 (
63.0M) Free space
I am using a flash-drive ('usb-stick') on my ibook
and x86 pc with linux, mac os x and windows xp.
All operating systems will discover an 'ibm-pc'
partition (and if it is formatted in fat/vfat, all
OS can also read/write to it).
Under linux, you will need to have the msdos
partition type support compiled in; I do not know
if that is the case for the default kernel:
CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y
you can then use fdisk on x86 to create a partition
which should be accessible from everywhere.
