fatsort dosn't find any devices

[Laryllan]

Binary package hint: fatsort

FatDort doesn't work on lucis anymore, i guess it's due to the changes in hardware detection.

This is the command line output if the program:
FATSort Utility 0.9.12 by Boris Leidner <fatsort(at)formenos.de>
sort_fs: No medium found!
main: Failed to sort file system!

Please fix this.
It's the only way (at least i know of) to manage the file sturcture for FAT volumes.
Very important for portable media players!

2 days i'm working on a fat32 inodes reordering (but doesn't work ;-)
And now, I had just found "fatsort", and it can't work under lucid -> I've got the same trouble ;-(
I'm lost ... any workaround or fatsort clone ?

i've the same problem yesterday... i install fatsort from repositories and when i trie to order any device i got the error

FATSort Utility 0.9.12 by Boris Leidner <fatsort(at)formenos.de>
sort_fs: No medium found!
main: Failed to sort file system!

so...
1) insert the device on USB port
2) umount the device but using console... like this:
$> sudo umount /media/<device> ... in my case: $> sudo umount /media/TRAVELDRIVE

3) run fatsor:
$> sudo fatsort /dev/<device> ... in my case: $> sudo fatsort /dev/sdb1

and everything goes well... SUCESS!!!
