I've pretty much given up, dd doesnt work either, neither ext drive. I'm resigned to it not working. :/ What error gives 'dd'?
That drive is special:
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 33553920 bytes
just hangs forever, doesnt do anything
hw failure? Try put the drive on another USB-port (it's USB, right?). Check with lsusb -t to see your options. I had to move a USB-disk a year ago due to lack of power on that port. You can also check for hw failure on a disk with smartctl -a (as root). It'll give you a abundance of info. smartctl -a /dev/sdb To rule out software problem I'd try a live-disk of some sort and see if it works. My favorite is knoppix (I'm old, I know). If it works with that it's most likely something in opensuse. -- /bengan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
