When I insert a card up to 2gb it is immediately seen by the system but if try it with bigger one it's not seen. I presume the issue is not due to the card reader itself as it reads all cards under windows 7 but due to linux driver.
I could see some people having similar issues but no solution.
Any help appreciated.
GParted doesnt see cards bigger than 2gb.
After insertion small card
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ dmesg
[10169.384481] mmc0: new SD card at address a95c
[10169.384870] mmcblk0: mmc0:a95c SD016 14.0 MiB
[10169.386715] mmcblk0: p1
everything worked fine
then I removed the small one and put 8gb, waited for 2min
