Re: How to format and create file system for 2G SD card?

Erik,

What is the command to list all the devices see by the iPAQ?
My iPAQ can not seem to see the SD 2Gig card.
Similar to format or probe-all-scsi???

I ran these and it complain.
mke2fs -v /dev/mmc
mke2fs -v /dev/mmc/part1

Look below for more details.
