The name displayed by Nautilus is:
"USB DISK 28X: usbdisk".
the df command displays:
"/dev/sda1 3,8G 2,3G 1,4G 64% /media/usbdisk"
I was just trying to use HUB by clicking the peripheral it displays...
I mean, the graphical interface of HUB does not let me choose which path
syntax I use: it is up to him to know what to do then.
What I see through the df command is that the block device /dev/sda1 is
mounted onto the directory /media/usbdisk, which is the standard way for
connecting disk devices.
hubackup cannot store its .dar file in the directory /media/usbdisk ?
info: in the meantime I used the cpbk utility, which is more powerful
than cp (that is why you see the 2,3G occupied space on my key now - see
above).
but I would like to be able to use hubackup.
I don't understand why you say it is not a bug. Can you explain more ?
My system is:
Linux ubuntu 2.6.15-27-386 #1 PREEMPT Sat Sep 16 01:51:59 UTC 2006 i686
GNU/Linux
best regards
