Hello, I just tried to access my new external HD, with a Firewire interface. I used document "Firewire (ieee1394) Drives under Linux" from SuSE, but I'm having troubles. Any other references I should read ?
Well, I'm not sure where you would start reading... What I did was to watch the messages /var/log/message as I plugged in the external drive. It will probably show up as a scsi disk sdb1 or something like that. Then you can mount it (if there is data on it already) or partition it and make a file system on it. Yast will help with this. You may want to be sure hotplug services are running, and that firewire is one of the hotplug services set up. I had no particular problem with this in my laptop running 8.2. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
