g_multi and sdcard = unformatted drive on Windows

Hi,
i have a new BBBW and try to “export” the sdcard as USB-Massstorage.
So i have to unload g_multi with modprobe -r g_multi, and mount it again with
`
modprobe g_multi file=/dev/mmcblk0p1 ro=0 cdrom=0 stall=0 removable=1

`
(the same behavior with g_mass_storage)

I formatted the SDCard to Fat32, but on a WindowsHost i see only a unformatted drive appear, so i decided to format the drive with Windows to fat32, that work fine, i can now write/read data to the SDCard, even if i unload g_multi and mount it again, the data are still there.

But the Problem is, if i unload g_multi and mount the SDcard under linux, i see no Files on it… (there should be some Textfiles)
Now i have checked the free Space on it, and there I see, it isn’t empty

`
/dev/mmcblk0p1 15541920 2712 15539208 1% /media/sdcard

root@beaglebone:~# ls -la /media/sdcard/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 8192 Apr 12 16:30 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 6 15:55 …

`

Now i left with no Idea, why this happens, and i have following Questions:

  1. Why do Windows show the drive unformatted first (Fat32 should be no Problem)?
  2. Why can’t linux read the data on the sdcard?

Or did i just missunderstand how g_multi “export” a Filesystem.
