Dear Club members:
Request for comments.
a no go on : mount -t vfat /dev/uba  /uba;
---
some specs; 
fdisk /dev/uba -p
128 MB, 129499136 bytes
255 heads, 63, sectors/track, 15 cylinders
Units - cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot : /dev/uba1
Start             : 1
End              : 15
Blocks          : 120456
Id                 : b
System          : W95 FAT32
----
Dmesg | tail    :
VFS       : Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev uba
FAT       : bogus number of reserved sectors
end Dmesg.
----
mount -t vfat /dev/uba  /uba
mount     : wrong fs type, bad options, bad superblock on 
dev uba.
----
less /etc/fstab:
/dev/uba    /uba   vfat     rw.users,noauto   0  0
----
tried 
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/uba  bs=1024 count=129499
in the hopes of clearing any disorderly files.
seems there were 225 sectors originally not 15?
                                      thanks,  Anthony K
