RE: Linux FAT12 mount issue (digital media problem)

Dear chunk,

Here are the details of my understanding.  

The cannon camera (other devices too) formatted SD is indeed a partition
FAT12. When I said 
Sfdisk  -l, it showed the fs ID as 1. 1 is indeed the FAT12 fs ID.

Attached are the logs for win and camera device sfdisk -Vl /dev/tfa0.

Mine is a FAT12 device.
So, what did u do to fix this problem? U did not mention it.

Regards,
Mukund Jampala
