If the USB disk didn't die, would you like to try again and tell me what says /var/log/messages ? Then I could compare with mine, and other people here in the mailing list could help also. There're (old) pendrivers that should be explicitly unmounted before removing it from the USB hub. In Windows, this procedure is called "removing the device safely". If you remove it without unmount before, it just dies. -- Vilela -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
