Weird drive content
Posted: Sat Aug 19, 2017 2:03 am
The hard drive I am using in my SAM460ex is one I previously used in my deceased X1000. I had at one time made an attempt or two to install Ubuntu on it, with limited success. But I got to wondering whether I might be able to try to launch them in the SAM, so I took a look at the drive with Media Toolbox and found three partitions named "dhx." The first and third use Filesystem \00\00\00\00 and are both a bit over 93 GB. The middle dhx uses LNX\00 for 0.023 MB. I used to get at one or the other of those with CFE (? The X1000 replacement of UBoot) and I was getting ready to see how I might address those partitions with UBoot.
But while in Media Toolbox I noticed a dh2: and wondered what the heck that was. Info doesn't bring it up under that name, but it turns out to be the partition belonging to a disk item labeled "Empty" on Workbench. Very puzzling. Here is what is in it:
Puzzling, yeah?

The very unsettling thing is that when I click on the MUI icon, I get this (as is the case for clicking on DH0:> MUI > MUI, of course): Who in the world is David Gerber, and why do I have a MUI registered to him?Directory "dh2:" on Friday 18-Aug-17
