Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
I just got a 500G FreeAgent (Seagate) drive. |
4 |
I have it working via ivman: |
5 |
|
6 |
/dev/sdb1 466G 144M 466G 1% /media/FreeAgent Drive |
7 |
|
8 |
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bc2:3000 Seagate RSS LLC |
9 |
|
10 |
I'm able to cd into it's directory tree and read various |
11 |
files. |
12 |
|
13 |
|
14 |
I assume it has NTFS by default. I have all of the legacy |
15 |
doz file systems enabled along with idonify in the kernel. |
16 |
|
17 |
|
18 |
I want to use it on both gentoo and windows systems |
19 |
for a variety of tasks. What the best way to set it up |
20 |
(ideas) so as to ensure what I copy onto the drive, |
21 |
form either gentoo or xp I can copy off onto a gento |
22 |
or XP based system? Should I delete any of the original |
23 |
stuff that Seagate installs on the drive? |
24 |
|
25 |
Also, I'm thinking about a udev rule or fstab entry |
26 |
on the gentoo system to uniquely identify the drive |
27 |
as I often attach several usb(stick or drive) devices |
28 |
to one system at any given time; so I'm looking for |
29 |
a scheme that they will each be unquely recognized (Labeled? |
30 |
|
31 |
|
32 |
|
33 |
any caveats? |
34 |
