Hi all.
I did ask this on the Ubuntu forum roughly a week ago but have had zero
helpful replies off the "community" there so I hope you don't mind the
off-topic (as far as audio goes) subject here.
You need to google for this. There is a lot, lot more complexity to
testing flash memory than your script encapsulates. stackoverflow has
plenty of fine examples and some discussion.
I tried Googling initially and got very little that wasn't assuming a user was on a
Windows machine and they all basically said to do what I outlined above but manually
copying the files across and checking they read correctly afterwards (so less precise than
using md5sum and not at all automated/scripted.) It's not a full testing of a flash
device I'm worried about, especially as they are new, I just want to know they really
are the size they report as being...
Dale.
