egd - I was not aware that Gnome Commander had issues as such, but I have not been using it to the degree that you have tried in the past. I wonder if using the older Midnight Commander in a terminal window would work more reliably for you.
I have been running a 750 GB NTFS-formatted SeaGate FreeAgent USB drive with my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop for at least three months now, and it has been working very well for me (after addressing the spin-down behavior of this drive.) It probably would have been preferable to reformat it as ext3, but ... (shrug) ... it seems to just work, so I didn't bother. -Ron -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 -> CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *Main rig:* NAD 7600 + NAD 2600A -> Phase Tech PC-6.5 speakers *Headphone rig:* Headroom Max -> Sennheiser 650s *Music Server:* Nano-ITX computer running SlimCD + 750 GByte HDD -> Netgear wireless router *Other stuff:* NAD C542 CDP, NAD 6300 Tape, Monster 5100 Power conditioner, Outlaw Audio cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42719 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
