usbflash not working c2911

[vinciparkbelgium]

Hi All,

I tried to copy my conf file to a USBflash drive but I cannot initialize the USBflash drive.

It asks me to format the USBflash, but when I say "yes" it gives an error.

Feb 21 11:18:40.799: %USBFLASH-5-CHANGE: usbflash1 has been inserted!

Feb 21 11:19:00.803: %USBFLASH-4-FORMAT: usbflash1 contains unexpected values in partition table or boot sector.  Device needs formatting before use!

Format operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm]y

Format operation will destroy all data in "usbflash1:".  Continue? [confirm]y

%Error formatting usbflash1: (No such device)

When I connect it to a 2811 its working perfectly

Hi Philippe,

Please check the rommon version on 2911 - command "sh rom-monitor".

If the version is 20081108, you might need to upgrade it  - I saw sumilar issues in 890 ISR line with this ROMMON versions due to bug that caused incorrect PCI registers change.

Kind Regards,

Ivan Shirshin

Hi Philippe,

I had to format mine in windows first before I could use it in a 2911.  Make sure you format as FAT16 as well.  Not sure if this is a feature or issue.

Thanks!
