Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
I have a FreeAgent(Seagate) usb drive, that shows up as /medea/sdb1 |
4 |
in Konqueror. I can go thru it via Konqueror and see all of the files |
5 |
(dll .exe, docs etc) but I cannot cd into the directories and sub |
6 |
directories and see any files. |
7 |
|
8 |
The kernel I use (2.6.24-gentoo-r7) has NTFS r/w enabled and fat fs too. |
9 |
It works fine with most usb/ntfs devices. I also have ivman installed |
10 |
as well as dbus and hald. |
11 |
|
12 |
I've googled and folks talk about FreeAgent usb drive not being too |
13 |
linux friendly. The advise ranges from reformat the drive to patching |
14 |
the kernel to deal with it "auto-shut-down". |
15 |
|
16 |
I'd be curious how folks on this list use a free agent usb drive with Gentoo. |
17 |
|
18 |
If possible, I'd like to keep it with it's windows features and be able |
19 |
to move it seemlessly between doz and gentoo system, as a general purpose |
20 |
backup/restore/archive drive. |

Ideas and comments are most welcome. |
