Question USB LaCie pocket HD on RHL 8.0?


I am new to hardware install, and would like to learn how to install and use a USB LaCie pocket hardrive with my desktop running RedHat 8.0. Any simple solutions are now possible with RH8.0?
Many Many thanks!

A lot of these little devices are supported, a lot are not, but they are all USB mass storage devices. The easy way to find out is to:

modprobe usb-storage

Then check:

dmesg

If you see a scsi device chain listing at then end, then you should be able to mount that drive, almost definately /dev/sda1. If not... download and compile 2.4.20 and see if the device has made it in yet. I've played with about 4 of them on the stock 2.4.18 that incidently is what comes with RH 7.3 and 8.0 and 3 of 4 worked.

Cheers,

Finegan
