Which errors? Did it just hang? How do you know that the disk became inaccessible?
I got this:
---- linux-k9na:/home/siberia # fdisk /dev/sdc
Unable to open /dev/sdc ----
It would have been nice to see the output from dmesg right after this, but if fdisk cannot access the disk, you have a hardware problem.
Here is the most recent dmesg:
This one doesn't seems to show the USB device being connected/discovered at all - there's certainly no mention of a disk drive with SCSI emulation etc. Can I suggest the following: disconnect USB drive reboot system connect USB drive, do a dmesg and post the output on coldsiberia try 'fdisk /dev/sdX' where X is the driver letter assigned as per dmesg output. Assuming this fails, do a dmesg and post the output on coldsiberia, but separately. (if it doesn't fail, you have some sort of intermittent problem, again indicative of a hardware issue). /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
