Hello, I want to buy a old Sony compact digital camera which supports only Memory Stick, a removable flash memory card format, before buy it, I get its memory card to check is it supported under Linux or not.I inserted it into memory card reader and it is detected by system:# lsblkNAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE....sdc 8:32 1 2T 0 disk
2 Terabytes in an old digital camera? Either you're planning on taking a LOT of pictures our your Memory Stick is not actually recognised by the system.
First off, check that your card reader HARDWARE supports the MS. Have you read the Wikipedia page on Memory Sticks? There are almost as many variants as Secure Digital has. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_Stick
Secondly, have you checked for physical switches on the Memory Stick? There might be a read-only switch; there might even be a bank-select switch.
but fdisk can't do anything on it:# fdisk /dev/sdc.... .... ....fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdc: Input/output error<THANKS FOR HELP>
