Hi,

I am trying to configure usb host on the osk to mount flash pen-drives.

when i do mount i get the following error:
"unknown partition table"

has someone else come across the same kind of issue?

# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb -t vfat

Try formatting once. Use fdisk (on Linux) to format it and make partitions.
