Hi all,
I'm actually not a Linux newbie, but I'm DEFINITELY no expert either... I'm trying to copy all my data(approx 50 GB) from a usb drive(western digital 250GB) with ntfs partition in one go...
The problem is that it only fails for big transfers... works fine for smaller transfers like 1Gigs or less...
I have just one internal hdd partitioned into two ext3 partitions..
so I have sda1(Primary.. mount pt /), sda2(swap) and sda3(mount pt /piyush)...
The usb drive comes up as sdb(sdb1).. just has one ntfs partition...
I've also installed the ntf-3g drivers.... but doesn't seem to work...
I've also noticed that when the machine hangs and I try to shut down, it fails and I get a message again again... (sdb1- no sense detected) or something like this... don't remember the exact message... will post the exact one if no one is able to figure out what's wrong...
