Hi all, |
2 |
|

I've just upgraded to modular X, KDE 3.5 and installed a new CD-RW |
4 |
drive. My system is back to working flawlessly. |
5 |
|
6 |
However, my issue now is trying to get an external Iomega 250 gig usb |
7 |
hard drive to work. |
8 |
|
9 |
I've tried googling for information as well as looking in the archives. |
10 |
However, all the information is old. For instance, it tells me that usb |
11 |
peripherals are recognized ad scsi devices, which is true in for my zip |
12 |
drive, which is sda4. However, /dev appears to have changed and there |
13 |
are no longer multiple choices like sda1, etc. |
14 |
|
15 |
Regardless, if I modify fstab to read /dev/usb and save the file, a |
16 |
window will pop up saying that an unmounted hard drive has been |
17 |
detected. However, if I try to mount it I'm told that /dev/usb is not a |
18 |
block device. |

This is the output from lsusb: |

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 059b:0035 Iomega Corp. |
24 |
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8086:1122 Intel Corp. |
25 |
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 |
26 |
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:0604 Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 840c |
27 |
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 03f0:0605 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 2200c |
28 |
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 |
29 |
|

I've tried various combinations of /dev/usb (ie 2,3, etc) and /dev/scsi, |
31 |
but I can't get the drive to mount so I can put a file system on it. |
32 |
And from the above, I have no idea what Bus 002 Device 002 is unless it |
33 |
refers to the external hard drive, which is an Iomega. The Bus 002 |
34 |
Device 3 is my zip drive and on Bus 001, the peripherals are self |
35 |
explanatory. |
36 |
|
37 |
I don't want to do anything to fancy - it doesn't have to boot, I just |
38 |
want it for my ripped music files. |

Any help would be appreciated. |
