Dear my friends....

I use SuSE 9.2. I just bought an external HD Trekstor 160 GB. This HD use USB 2.0.

I don't know, how I can mount the HD. I tried to mount this way : mkdir /media/extusbhd mount /dev/st01 /media/extusbhd . but it did not work

SuSE 9.2 includes automount features which will try to automount any removable device it recognizes when attached to your system. After you plug the external HD into your system check /media/??? for the device. /media/??? is the default location for the automounted devices, such as external HDs, thumb drives, other block devices, etc. Some people, myself included, do not like the automount features and prefer to mount devices manually, with other options enabled. If, for some reason, you are not using automount, you would probably mount the device as if it were a SCSI block device (at least the kernel recognizes the device as a SCSI device). For example: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/some_mount_point ^^^^^^^^ The -t option specifies the file system type, in this case I'm assuming you've formatted the HD with the FAT32 file system, ' -t vfat'. If you formatted the device using ext3 the option would read ' -t ext3'. The device, /dev/sda1, refers to the first partition on the first SCSI block device. HTH Chris Shanahan

Please teach me how to use it in SuSE 9.2.

Thank you very much in advance.
