I assume this was a different time than before. You had sdc before and this
is sdb.
No, I had a USB flashdrive on /dev/sdb when I first reported this. The ZIF
drive showed up on /dev/sdc.
What do "fdisk -l /dev/sdb" and "file -s
/dev/sdb" give you?
(Replace block device name as necessary.)
~> fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 27.97 GiB, 30005821440 bytes, 58605120 sectors
Disk model: 0G5CE00
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
~> file -s /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb: data
