I have a zaapa usb external drive. I thought I could simply plug it in and write to it. It does not show up under the kde 'my computer' as I expected it would. Running evmsgui it shows as /dev/evms/sda but I've no idea how to write to it. Why doesn't it simply show as /dev/sda? How can I get to use it?

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Any ideas?
Look for something in the /dev/sda line. I'm using a USB HD enclosure under 10.0. I did notice that if I used the YaST2 partitioning tool it showed me the device as a /dev/sda. However I'm curious as to why your hardware notification did not kick in when you turned it on. You might want to try mount /dev/sda1 /<mountpoint> -tauto, and then navigate to that location.

When I plug it in nothing happens. Trying to mount /dev/sda gives:
mount /dev/sda /mnt mount: No medium found
I don't know about you, but I have several mountpoints at /mnt. e.g. /mnt/XP, /mnt/Ubuntu, /mnt/Ubuntu_Home, /mnt/Debian_Sarge. So it wold be a good idea to create a mountpoint under /mnt.
and
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt -tauto mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
Still no luck.

Fire up YaST and use the disk partitioning software, if you've got a connection to the device it ought to show up there. Ensure the device is powered up and your USB port/cable is in working order. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
