I put it into an external cabinet, attached the USB cord to the computer and started Opensuse 11. The disk did not appear in Konqueror, so I went into Yast2. There was no indication that there was any disk attached, and I tried Yast (the text-based older version). There the disk came up, but Yast claimed that the disk was 2 Tb instead of 1 Tb. I started formatting, but the process stopped with no success and I could not format the disk.
Did you try "tail -f /var/log/messages" and connect/disconnect the drive? Maybe you can see if the disk is recognized.
That yielded this result: siberia@linux-k9na:~> tail -f /var/log/messages tail: cannot open `/var/log/messages' for reading: Permission denied tail: no files remaining Per Inge Oestmoen, Norway -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
