Hello, I have a FreeAgent(Seagate) usb drive, that shows up as /medea/sdb1 in Konqueror. I can go thru it via Konqueror and see all of the files (dll .exe, docs etc) but I cannot cd into the directories and sub directories and see any files.
The kernel I use (2.6.24-gentoo-r7) has NTFS r/w enabled and fat fs too. It works fine with most usb/ntfs devices. I also have ivman installed as well as dbus and hald. I've googled and folks talk about FreeAgent usb drive not being too linux friendly. The advise ranges from reformat the drive to patching the kernel to deal with it "auto-shut-down". I'd be curious how folks on this list use a free agent usb drive with Gentoo. If possible, I'd like to keep it with it's windows features and be able to move it seemlessly between doz and gentoo system, as a general purpose backup/restore/archive drive. Ideas and comments are most welcome. James -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
