Try to see what is available with ls command: ls /dev/evms/sd* and ls /dev/sd* Do that before you connect the drive and after. That way you will see what device is used for external drive. Than you can use that for fdisk (or you can try cfdisk) -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
