I have read that Linux supports htfs ... maybe? ... so I tried to mount
an external hdd using usb.
I know a hdd with ext3 and vfat works well using usb.
I am running Redhat FC3.
Since the drive did not automount like the ext3 and vfat I tried the
mount command.
I get the following error (not supported):
== mount /dev/sda1 ==
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# mount /dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk

[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# mount

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 4998.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
