15 Now the drive shows up as sdc1. When I plug it in
16 Konqueror pops up showing the drive's contents:
17 system:/media/sdc1

21
22 ls -ld /media/sdc1
23 ls: cannot access /media/sdc1: No such file or directory
24
25 but it does show up as 'FreeAgent Drive'
26
27 ls /media/
28 FreeAgent Drive sdb1 sdb12 sdb5 sdb7 sdb8 sdb9 sdc sdc3 sdd sdd1

31 This seems to indicate that the names used by Konqueror and udev
32 are not consistent. I can go through Konqueror and read the file,
33 but the edits do not work via Konqueror or with vi going thru
34 the dir tree to access the file.

44 I tried everything as root. I have support for the necessary file
45 systems in the kernel. However, I do think my problem is the
46 kernel options....
