1 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?
