| deitarion | Ph0x: Isn't that "thinks its a hard drive" thing just an "is removable device" bit that can be toggled using the right utility? I seem to remember running across that while looking up the pros and cons of having a partition table on a thumbdrive vs. formatting /dev/sdh directly. | 16:20 |
| deitarion | (I think it was a manufacturer-proprietary utility that just happened to work on anything, sort of like Seagate's SeaTools but for Flash.) | 16:23 |
