 Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2005 5:07 pm Post subject: External HDD usb2.0 |
 |
|
My home box is currently down but I thought I would toss in something I was having torubles with before the fall!
I have a 250gb iomega external hdd that isn't wanting to mount. It's NTFS formated however I have native NTFS support r/w I also have USB HID and STORAGE support built into my kernel.
Any recommendations are welcome. I can't really give much more information than that right now, I only got to spend about 30 minutes on the problem before I went to bed and system was toasted while I was at work, wanting to discuss this to take my mind off my downed box =( |

Do you have SCSI disk support enabled? (USB drives appear as SCSI devices)
To further diagnose your problem you could run (when your system is working again)
To check if your enclosure has been detected. If it has been detected do
| Code: | | cat /proc/partitions |
to see a list of all partitions on your system. There should be a scsi disk listed. SCSI drives are sda, sdb, sdc, etc. |

sorry, I should have mentioned that. Yes I have SCSI support enabled, and cat responded that the device was there. However I couldn't mount it even forcing the type.
lsusb showed it connected, I forget how it was listed exactly, I will try cating when I get back up and running. Thanks |
