He guys, |

I regularly attach a friend’s external HDD to my laptop or NAS, both running |
4 |
“standard” Gentoo. The main partition is fat32 formatted. On and off she has |
5 |
problems mounting the drive, usually after I had it connected to one of my |
6 |
machines. |

It happened again today. So chronologically: |
9 |
1) Someone else attached the drive to his Windows 10 laptop and put a few |
10 |
Gigs into a single folder. |
11 |
2) Then I attached it to my NAS, which didn’t even create a device for it. I |
12 |
read some hardware error in the system log. |
13 |
3) I attached it to my laptop. It also showed the error message (see below), |
14 |
but it did create a device and I could mount the data partition. |

When I had the drive hooked to my laptop in 3), I was shuffling stuff around |
24 |
on it (mostly copying and deleting a few files from the folder mentioned in |
25 |
1) and renaming files in other places). Today she left me a note saying her |
26 |
Windows needed to check the drive and now that folder was missing. I found |
27 |
that Windows “recovered” its contend into /FOUND.001 with all filenames |
28 |
lost. m( |

Naturally, I always unmount the drive prior to removing it physically, |
31 |
usually with KDE’s media manager. The drive (or the controller in the case?) |
32 |
contains a cdrom emulation to offer drivers and something called “WD |
33 |
SmartWare”. *shiver* I always wonder whether this plays a part with our |
34 |
problems. When the drive is connected to Windows – IIRC – first the |
35 |
cdrom appears, and after a while disappears and makes way for the actual |
36 |
data partition. |

Do you have similar experiences and maybe even a tip on how to make her and |
40 |
my systems play along better? The only thing coming to my mind right now is |
41 |
to ditch fat32 and go with something more robust like exfat(?) or ntfs. |
42 |
|
43 |
Cheerio. |
