Re: External drive in PCLOS
What's the interface? Are these drives ESATA, USB or Firewire? |

| Dunno about PCLinuxOS, but SuSE handles USB drives with hald and hotplug.
Try commenting out any references to the drive in your fstab, reboot and see if they autodetect when plugged in as they should be.
One thing I've noticed is that when SuSE uses the YaST partitioning tool to format a USB drive it creates an fstab entry by default. It's usually an extra step to remove that entry in order to have the device recognized by hotplug afterwards... |
