/dev/mmcblk0 USB device equivalent on Fedora 18

[Aaron Gray]

Hi,

I am trying to follow some instructions that say do a :-

'xzcat image.img >/dev/mmcblk0'

to a USB SD card reader. But '/dev/mmcblk0' does not exist.

I have tried usbmon0/1/2/3 but am just getting write errors.

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

What do you see in /var/log/messages, when you insert the card?

I would only expect to get a mmc* device if you plug a MMC card into the
reader.  Are you actually using an MMC device?  SD cards are a different
thing, and mine appear as things like /dev/sdc1.

/dev/sda1 on F18 seems to be the one using the FUJIFILM SD card
adapter USB device

Its very slow on USB 1.0 though !

Many thanks,

Aaron

How do you get a removable device on sda1?  RAID?  Usually, your hard
drive gets the lowest device.

Do you have other ports to try?  Some computers have USB 1 and 2 ports,
expecting you to use the slower ones for the mouse and keyboard.

Dunno just plugged it in and looked in /var/log/messages as suggested
earlier in the thread.
