Neither. It never gets as far as admitting that such a device as /dev/sda1 exists. It behaves as if you have never plugged it in (though it happlly recognises, and mounts, my other USB stick). My other slug (still on 4.8) happily mounts either or both of them.
I even flashed 4.8 onto the new slug to see if it was some 5.3 problem, but that made no difference.
So it seems that USB stick and that Slug just do not like each other, so it has to be a hardware problem somehow. Looks like next move will be to buy a new stick.
The only think I have done with the newstick is to try to partition it in various ways, and put ext3 filesystems on it (all done on the old slug where it all appeared to work).
BTW, is there any software available to restore the original FAT filesystem? I cannot find either mkdosfs or mkfs.msdos anywhere, and the brokeness of the package search engine on the NSLU website does not help there :-(,
Is there anyway of forcing the creation od /dev/sda? AFAICS /dev/MAKEDEV is a dummy.
