Hi,

Trying to get a ProFlash Card Reader 6-in-1 to mount under Linux.
I had no problem getting my older card reader to work, but since the
new camera uses a 4GB SDHC card, I needed to pick up a new reader.
(The camera connection works fine, just hate to waste the charged
battery).

It supposed to work like a pen drive. When I connect, Linux does see
the device, assigns it uba1, however, when I try to mount as vfat, I
get the following error:

mount -t vfat /dev/uba /media/sd

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/uba,
missing codepage or other error
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

Try mounting /dev/uba1.

The camera uses vfat fine when I connect it and mounts fine as well.
However, I found for some reason moving files from the camera doesn't
always work the best. I've had a card get corrupted, whicth running
fsck.vfat on solved the issue and was able to recover all but 3 files
(never delete it until you fsck it).

The corruption might be caused by unplugging the card without umounting.
