Hi List, you sure know these little external USB-harddisks, often used for laptops or basic backups. Like WD-Passport and Seagate Expansion and whatever they name them.
They come FAT formatted, right? Has anyone of you tried to reformat them for NetBSD? I guess its not a big thing, but I wonder if I can buy any brand (need it for portable server backup and need GID/UID) or there are some models what make trouble with formatting, partitioning or mounting. I had some trouble with USB-Sticks. Thats another story, but close enough the be alert just buying any plug n play solution what may not work later. Any experience? Thanks! herb langhans
