[opensuse] suse 10.0 and WD external harddrive
Hello, I am using Suse 10.0 and have an external USB Western Digital 300G harddrive. When I plug the USB cable in and have the drive turned on I get the following in /var/log/messages: Server kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 Server kernel: hiddev96: USB HID v1.10 Device [Western Digital External HDD] on usb-0000:00:07.2-1 The problem is that I cannot figure out how to mount the drive nor access it. Anyone have any idea what I am missing? Thanks in advance, Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have the same device and it works perfectly on 10.2 and 9.3. Usually Kde pops up and offers to mount it on /media/sda1 After confirming it shows up in /etc/mtab as /dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk reiserfs rw,nosuid,nodev,sync 0 0 Here is a section of my log after the drive was plugged in. (Note: Since I use this on Linux only, I nuked the vfat partition on the drive and formatted it with reiserfs to allow larger than 4gig files. I uses it for large backup files). It works flawlessly.

Fire up YaST-Partitioner and see if you have a new sd? device. From there you can define a mount point for access. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

In a default 10.0 installation, the new disk appears as /media/<SOMETHING>. Look at the content of /media before and after plugging the disk in; does a new directory appear there?

If it doesn't, see what you get by mounting /dev/sda1 (or sda2 etc if you already have /dev/sda1 or more on the machine) as root, eg something like # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt I had difficulty with 10.0 and an external hard-drive. In my case it did indeed show up in /media as /media/usbdisk, but only with a fraction of its real capacity. In order to get the actual capacity I was obliged to do as above. Once that succeeded, AFAIR I made a new mountpoint for it under /, changed it to my usual user's ownership and write / read privileges. Boring in that you need to remember to mount / umount it, but actually not too much bother. Give it a try if the official routes don't work for you, Best Fergus

Thanks for all the advice! It seems that I have to plug it in, unplug it, plug it back in and wait for a good bit then linux will recognize it and mount it. Or maybe I should just wait a good bit after I plug it in the first time. :) I have no idea why it takes so long for linux to mount it and that is where the delay comes in. My message log sees it and then around 2.5 to 3 minutes later messages appear in the log that suse has indeed mounted the drive to /media/usbhd. I leave that system on all the time so I will just have to remember to check it whenever I am forced to do a reboot until I can figure out why the delay occurs.
