Replying to myself I'd like to note, that after booting up the Mandriva system
with a vanilla/linus 2.6.30.3 kernel, the external hard-disk is working fine.
I reported this as a bug in the Mandriva kernel:

Re: Looking for lecturer
Hi list-members,
As a "competitor" of Gilad Ben-Yosef, I endorse Aviv's recommendation. Not
only is Gilad a pro, his lectures are real entertainment.
With no connection to the above recommendation, with any lecturer, make
sure that you sit down with him/her beforehand and explain what it is that
you expect. I once had an unfortunate experience at Cisco when I arrived
without having met the development group first. They were expecting
something entirely different from what I had prepared and the lecture
series ended with a bang about twenty minutes into the first lecture
(ouch!).

Hi Noam,
I recommend you contact Gilad Ben-Yosef (just google the name) - he is
a real pro, both on the technical side and on lecturing about Linux
Kerenl. I've been to some of his lectures, i really think he just
great - and on top he is a nice guy too.
I'm not affiliated to him on any level.

We are a group of 20 programmers developing in the Linux kernel.
The focus of the lectures will be on different Kernel topics: Memory,

The lectures should be in-depth and not a simple overview.
If you're interested, please reply to me off-list.

Re: Having Problems Mounting my External Hard-Disk
After all these results, maybe it's worth to try usb storage device as
built in instead of module.

Re: Having Problems Mounting my External Hard-Disk
Hi all!
I should note that after rebooting to my Debian partition, the
external hard-disk is successfully mounted and I can see the
partition. So it's likely a problem with the Mandriva kernel or
something like that. I'll investigate.

All the CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_* are modules ("=m"). I tried modprobe'ing ums-
onetouch . The modprobe was successful, but I still got the same problem when
trying to mount the file-system.

I added this line but /proc/bus/usb seems to be already mounted.
None of this seems to have helped me.

Re: Having Problems Mounting my External Hard-Disk
Hi Shlomi
Your /etc/fstab suggests that the usb hd isn't mounted automatically
upon boot. So when you mount as root sometimes you can specify ext3 as
filesystem and sometimes you don't need. I had this case once. This
was solved.
as root mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/external or mount -t ext3 /dev/sdd1 /mnt/external
>From dmesg it appears as sg5 try to do ls -l /dev/sg* to see if you
have some symlink to any device number of sdd. Maybe it was changed
from sdd1 to sdd2 or other? you have some timing estimation from
dmesg? Maybe the output of dmesg is older and sdd became sde or other?
to get an information to my previous question try to run
ls -l /dev/sd*
try to run lsusb and see if the hd is seen at all. There might be a
simple cable issue.
If it appears in lsusb maybe you should consider this line in fstab:
none/proc/bus/usb usbfs
devgid=1014,devmode=664 0 0
Good Luck

Having Problems Mounting my External Hard-Disk
Hi all!
I have an external USB hard-disk ( Maxtor 500 GB). Up to a few weeks ago, I
was able to mount it and access it properly on my Mandriva Cooker system.
Recently, however I got this error:

I tried to convert to .mp4 container with H.264, which I expect the Nokia E71 to support. The player said something about not being able to play the video but at the same time it played the audio alone. 2. The player can play the .flv file very well, it just can't skip forward or backward while doing so. 3. The resulting .mp4 file was more than twice the size of the original .flv file which seems odd to me - I though the h.264 format was supposed to be strong on compression. Also I didn't do any scientific comparison but I suspect that the .flv file looks actually better than the .mp4 file (on the desktop). 4. I couldn't find a way to tell HandBrake anything about the result (e.g. set the resolution to 320x240) except that it has some "Presets" on the right-hand side-bar and the one I was using was apparently the default "Basic->Normal". I still have to get around to try the result of the second conversion (which uses ffmpeg) and then maybe the "Normal"->"Classic" preset.

I think that you need to pay royalties if you use it in your software but not to use it as a user, although there is x264 which is compatible and free, and ffmpeg which includes support for x264, so I don't know where the legal side lies. Note though that there are several profiles, and not all of them are supported in each player/device so that may be the problem. Try using a lower profile, that should solve your problem probably.
