Double check that you are accessing the correct device. USB drives

Oh yes, my processor is slow now. a df command shows this:
[root@localhost trade]# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
718841144 8123212 674202912 2% /

/dev/sdf1 3985612 53992 3931620 2% /media/disk
The JetFlash pen is assigned to sdf1. But do I have to assign it to
sdc1
for it to work??
What consequences does this have?

Nope - but you have to use /dev/sdf instead of /dev/sdc if you want
fdisk to tell you anything about the drive. This is why you were
getting the unable to open /dev/sdc error message from fdisk.
Mikkel
Of course!
And this is what now comes out of the woodwork:
fdisk /dev/sdf1 -l
Disk /dev/sdf1: 4089 MB, 4089428992 bytes
126 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1022 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 7812 * 512 = 3999744 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x69737369
This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.
/dev/sdf1 is a partition. /dev/sdf is the device. Try:
# fdisk -l /dev/sdf
(that's "dash ell", by the way). That should show you the partition
table on drive /dev/sdf.
Sorry, my mistake. I don't do these things too often.
[root@localhost par]# /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sdf
Disk /dev/sdf: 4089 MB, 4089445376 bytes
33 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3841 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2079 * 512 = 1064448 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x7ef87cc2
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdf1 1 3842 3993583 b W95 FAT32
But I cannot see any message here that points out what goes wrong -
why it is set to readonly.
