I could, but a much larger problem is that cups managed to self destruct on a reboot, and I now have no printing facility at all, and thats more important since I like to print my bank activities for my records in case things get out of synch. However, that shouldn't take too much time so here goes.
[root@coyote cups-1.1.20rc6]# dosfsck -v /dev/sda1 dosfsck 2.8 (28 Feb 2001) dosfsck 2.8, 28 Feb 2001, FAT32, LFN Boot sector contents: System ID " " Media byte 0xf8 (hard disk) 512 bytes per logical sector 16384 bytes per cluster 1 reserved sector First FAT starts at byte 512 (sector 1) 2 FATs, 12 bit entries 6144 bytes per FAT (= 12 sectors) Root directory starts at byte 12800 (sector 25) 256 root directory entries Data area starts at byte 20992 (sector 41) 3997 data clusters (65486848 bytes) 32 sectors/track, 8 heads 55 hidden sectors 127945 sectors total Checking for unused clusters. /dev/sda1: 2 files, 2/3997 clusters ------------------------ The card is now empty, so that looks reasonable to me. But what do I know about a messydos filesystem? Zilch is what...
