[Bug 589369] Re: No automount for 8GB SDHC card: "FAT: Invalid FSINFO signature: 0x41645252, 0x61417272 (sector = 1)"

Fri Oct 28 16:20:21 UTC 2011

Confirmed fixed in 3.0.0-13-generic (Xubuntu Oneiric).

Still getting all the same error messages but the good news is that the
drive now mounts automatically.

With Thanks.

Title:
  No automount for 8GB SDHC card: "FAT: Invalid FSINFO signature:
  0x41645252, 0x61417272 (sector = 1)"

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: util-linux

  Memory card: Toshiba 8GB micro SDHC
  Internal card reader: Alcor
  External card reader: Marantz PMD661 audio recorder

  Problem: If the card is formatted in the audio recorder, it will not
  automount in linux and the mount utility doesn't recognise the
  partition [mount: you must specify the filesystem type]. Mounting
  manually with "mount -t vfat" works but /var/log/messages includes the
  line "FAT: Invalid FSINFO signature: 0x41645252, 0x61417272 (sector =
  1)".

  The card will automount in linux if partitioned with fdisk and
  formatted with mkdosfs but then the Marantz recorder is unhappy,
  claiming the card is unformatted.

  In either case fdisk sees the same partition table:-

  sudo fdisk -lu /dev/sdb
  Disk /dev/sdb: 7969 MB, 7969177600 bytes
  221 heads, 20 sectors/track, 3521 cylinders, total 15564800 sectors
  Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
  Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
  I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
  Disk identifier: 0x00000000

     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
  /dev/sdb1            8192    15564799     7778304    b  W95 FAT32

  Cheers.

  =====================================
  PS: The audio recorder can be plugged into USB as a card reader. This doesn't solve the above problem but the initial error messages are different, provided here to help others find this bug:-
