Don't know if that is really the case, as I said, just judging by > the small bit of code above. I wondered the same thing in fact. Technically it's possible to initialize a device having a partitioning system with a filesystem. It's just a bit tricky to know if the API should enforce for instance to give this possibility only and only when the device hosts no partition system. One would then have to delete the partitioning system first. Bye, Jérôme
