I have a problem, i have a fat32 usb drive, which im using to back up a dns
server.
i first started to use cp -r * /mnt/usbdrive
then i stopped, and wanted to do it a better way
so i did a dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/sda1 bs=1024k
it finishes too quickly and says 47+1 in 47+1 out
and now when i ls the /mnt/usbdrive
I get all sorts of garbage, lots of ?s and such. and numbers. when i try
to delete it, it says its a read only drive.
also to note, that at first, fdisk said there was one partition as fat32.
nwo there are several and i have no idea how they got there.
the last thing is this - i can now not umount the /dev/sda1 it says the
device is busy, eject doesnt work either. I turned it off, and i still cant
unmount it, what should I do? i really dont want to reboot it, it is our
dns server. so?
thanks
