You should provide the entire contents, but that doesn't help answer this question (unless the device is unlikely to work.
You should be able to tell this from your kernel logs. If you look in the output of dmesg you should see it creating a SCSI device. If this is the only scsi device you have it will probably be /dev/sda1 (if you have one partition which is the first primary partition). You'll obviously need to partition the drive and create the filesystem before you can mount it. > 2) Okay, so how does one place the ext3 file system on the device to > begin with????? > it's sorta difficult when I'm not sure what the system is calling the > device. Ah, so you knew that. You use "mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda1", make sure this is the correct device though or you'll lose data!!! > Okay, the questions may be out of order, but I think you get the idea. > Thanks in advanced! > > > -- Ryan > > P.S. lsusb was locking up under stock SuSE 8.1!!!! anybody else have > the same problem??? > > > -- /------------------------------------+-------------------------\ |Stephen J.
