It worked fine and it was there with 0 bytes. Weird.
I sort of gave up on this drive. I had a very kind soul to send me a video
card when I did this build. He also sent me a 250Gb drive. I copied all I
could to that but did lose a LOT of my videos and such. Anyway, I'm doing
this right now:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc
I figure that will put it back like brand new and very blank. I'll recreate
my partition, throw a file system on it and see if it will let me copy back
to it or not.
While I am at it, what is the best file system for videos? That is the
biggest thing I use that drive for. I had a LOT of NCIS, CSI and other
shows that are now gone. Anyway, what are opinions on a file system for
videos on a 750Gb drive? I had reiserfs on it before.
I had a few terabytes of my own DVD rips on ext4 on a 3TB RAID5 once
upon a time. Worked very well.
I'm not picky. Unless someone comes up with something better, I'll give
ext4 a try. I have read it is pretty swift plus it is some shiney new .
. . stuff. ;-) Shhh. There may be a lady on here too. Read between
the lines.
I'm just curious as to how much longer dd is going to take. I wish it
has some sort of a progress bar or something. :/
Thanks.
