Re: iomega 2TB external USB drive

[John Lindsay]

With regards to the problem I am having getting this IOMEGA drive to be 
seen by my primary computer running Debian Lenny -- I deleted the 
partitions, recreated the partitions as ext3, then ext4 and finally  
ntsf . I then checked mstab after  'mount ./dev./sdb1  /mnt' after each 
change and it shows the drive is mounted. However it does not show up on 
the desktop.  I have a test computer which had a debian 5,0  
installed.so I unmounted the HDD from my main computer and plugged it in 
to my test computer. It showed as mounted but not on on the desktop. 
Since this is my test unit I installed Linux Mint 9. After the 
installation was complete I checked the drive. It was present. I can 
open it, transfer files, erase files and  create and delete folders. I 
know it works on Mint -- for some reason debian refuses to show it on 
the desktop or in the computer folder. Thats how it stands -- very 
frustrating. I wanted to use it with either a USB hub or switch so I 
could use it as a storage drive for files etc. I'll continue to 
investigate it and see what happens.
