Hey Guys, you want to tell us what drives you have, so we can verify your not having some incompatibility problem. Have you done the YOU updates? There where a lot of them when 9.1 first came out... (Banana software 8-) I've got a Freecom FW1, 120g, with the optional FW cable. It's working fine. At the begining I had problems with it and could only use it after modifying my fstab, and mounting by hand. Now it's working with the new Funky auto stuff. The automatic stuff is really a pain at the moment, but someday they'll get it right... as to "why the funky name?", they tried using a unique name so that it gets mount at the same place no matter where you plug it in to! Be a nive feature if they ever get it to work... In the mean time I believe I found a place to rename the autogenerated name to something I find usefull, like Freecom. (since I only got one!). Hmmm, let me try to do that again! Jerry On Thu, 2004-07-08 at 22:25, Jerome Lyles wrote:

I have a firewire drive that I used for backup in 9.0. Now in 9.1 I get this error: Could not enter folder /media/ieee1394_sbp2-00d04b35e0022046-0-0p4
Anyone know how to enter the folder or what commands to use to find out how? Anyone know why a name like 'ieee1394_sbp2-00d04b35e0022046-0-0p4' is necessay?
Hi Jerome, message off-list - did you ever solve this? I'm getting the same thing ...
Thanks for any input Best Fergus
Thanks, Jerome
Hi Fergus, No help here. For now I'm backing up to a spare internal hardrive. Sorry, Jerome
Hi Jerome, thanks a lot for getting back!
It was annoying to find this backward step in 9.1.
I booted mine with the firewire drive in place, and found that while i did get your error, I could in fact mount it as root using mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt (sdd because there are 3 others). So I could then use it normally. Not wonderful, but a partial answer ...
Best Fergus
Hi Fergus,
I'm not having any luck here. Here are some of the responses I get from the system as root:
# mount /dev/sbp2 /mnt/backup mount: special device /dev/sbp2 does not exist
# mount /media/ieee1394_sbp2-00d04b35e0022046-0-0p1 /mnt/backup mount: /media/ieee1394_sbp2-00d04b35e0022046-0-0p1 is not a block device
# mount /media/ieee1394_sbp2 /mnt/backup mount: special device /media/ieee1394_sbp2 does not exist
# mount /media/sbp2 /mnt/backup mount: special device /media/sbp2 does not exist
# mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/backup mount: /dev/sdd1 is not a valid block device
# mount /dev/sdd0 /mnt/backup mount: special device /dev/sdd0 does not exist
# mount /dev/sdd2 /mnt/backup mount: /dev/sdd2 is not a valid block device
# mount /dev/sdd3 /mnt/backup mount: /dev/sdd3 is not a valid block device
I didn't reboot though. I'm going to login as root and see what that does. Jerome
