I have both a onetouch 4 750G and a 1tb drive that work fine.  I am 
running Unstable and Ubuntu 9.04.  I am using the 2.6.30 kernel on both.

Support for the Maxtor Onetouch4 Plus

2009-09-20 Thread Dr. George E. Moore
List,

Is there support for the Maxtor Onetouch4 Plus 1TB external drive in
Debian 5.0 release? If not, are there 1TB external drives that are
supported and is there a plan to support the Maxtor drive in some future
releases?

Unless this drive behaves in some weird way, it should be supported.
It'll work like any other mass media device that is plugged in.

Do not expect its proprietary backup software to work, though. But there
are plenty of programs for backups in debian.

I have that drive plugged to a NSLU2 using Debian Lenny and it's NTFS
formatted, I have used in a Debian Lenny PC and an Ubuntu PC too
without any issue.

Yes.

 Do not expect its proprietary backup software to work, though. But there
 are plenty of programs for backups in debian.

The onetouch button that gives the drive its name should work in the
sense that you can bind any action to it.  Citing
drivers/usb/storage/Kconfig:

,
| config USB_STORAGE_ONETOUCH
|   tristate Support OneTouch Button on Maxtor Hard Drives
|   depends on USB_STORAGE
|   depends on INPUT=y || INPUT=USB_STORAGE
|   help
| Say Y here to include additional code to support the Maxtor OneTouch
| USB hard drive's onetouch button.
| 
| This code registers the button on the front of Maxtor OneTouch USB
| hard drive's as an input device. An action can be associated with
| this input in any keybinding software. (e.g. gnome's keyboard short-
| cuts)
| 
| If this driver is compiled as a module, it will be named ums-onetouch.
