In the kernel config you can find a few options for particular USB storage device chip sets. I use a Jewel USB 2.0 mobile harddisk enclosure with a 20 GB 2.5" HDD, which works OK with Windows, but not flawless with Linux, using vanilla USB mass storage support. Writing large files sometimes hangs in Linux (both vfat and ext2). An older 4 GB HDD I had did not work at all (Windows not Linux). Hope this helps. Gwendolyn. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
