Problem with memstick for Sony DSC-P9

Problem with memstick for Sony DSC-P9

[Patrick Börjesson]

I've got a Sony DSC-P9 digital camera and when trying to use Sony's own
memstick I can't mount it over USB. When using a Lexar memstick there's
no problem at all. The error-message I get from mount when trying to
mount the Sony stick is:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
And when specifying vfat that the Lexar memstick uses I get a wrong
fs-type error instead.
Anyone know which filesystem I should use or is it a lost cause getting
the Sony memstick working?

You might try asking on one of the linux-usb lists:

What device name are you using? I vaguely recall a recent discussion 
about using the whole device (e.g. sda) vs. specific partitions (sda1, 
sda2).

Is the sony stick one of the 'magicgate' ones ?
These have digital right manglement stuff on them which makes them
pretty much unusable afaik.
