I've recently been playing with a NAS drive. To set it up I had it connected as an external USB drive. All was going well, fdisk, mkfs, etc. and I moved a couple of Gb of files to it.
After I disconnected it and plugged it back into my machine it suddenly decided to be a read-only file system. I remember a pen-drive of mine doing the same thing and I ended up having to redo the mkfs to cure it. This isn't a problem with a 512Mb pen drive but with a 500Gb drive with over 100Gb of files already on there it's not really an option. Any other answers? I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 (Gnome).
