[tde-users] Re: Konqueror & FAT32 --> system:/media/ is to blame

[...] The problem is that Linux systems in general seem to have a problem sometimes with mounting a flash drive or SD card, but only after they have been used in another device, such as a smartphone or a non-Linux system. I put a large music collection on a new SD card, for listening while I am outdoors walking, but when I went to change some of the items, now I find that my Linux system refuses to mount the drive. The same has happened with fat32 flash drives. This does not happen with other hard drives, such as an external hard drive that is formatted NTFS; only with fat32 flash drives or (I forget the filesystem here) SD cards. Also I believe that smartphones can really mess up the data on SD cards, as I had a lot of weirdness there. For example: a folder for one artist was instead filled with music from an entirely different artist. This could not have been a mistake on my part, as I have the originals, all tidy and organized, and the contents of the flash drive were first organized on a folder that resides in my desktop computer. Thus all I need to do is copy the contents of that folder to my SD card. It is only when I tried to copy the contents of that SD card to another location, then suddenly everything got messed up. So I believe that Kate might be onto something there, that formatting with Linux first could eliminate some of that mess.
