I have a external 20Gb hard disk plugable via USB. I want to use it as the root file system of Linux. Following comments from Matthew Dharm I patched a 2.4 kernel to delay the mount of the root file system at boot time, so USB devices can be detected, and then mounted as root.
It works (almost) perfectly. The "extrange" problem I have is that (no matter the HD is being used as root file system or simply as an additional disk) there are occasions in which the HD seems to be blocked, and this disrupts the normal function of linux (I have to hard reboot linux). It is extrange because, even used as root file system, I worked with the HD normally (and fast) a whole day. I would like to solve this problem. I read the web page http://www2.one-eyed-alien.net/~mdharm/linux-usb/ and I think that I have some time available to help the project by testing the driver (mass storage) with my device. Which instructions should I follow?
