Writing to USB disk fills up root partition
Hi..
writing to mounted USB disk fills up the root partition instead of the USB disk. Please help!! Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 6) On plugging in USB external drive, it get mounted automatically at /media/USB_BKUP_001: Code:
May 29 17:51:24 hn kernel: usb 6-7: new high speed USB device using address 2 Code:
/dev/sdy1 /media/USB_BKUP_001 ext3 pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 Code:
[root@hn log]# umount /media/USB_BKUP_001 Code:
[root@hn~]# [root@hnUSB_BKUP_001]# sdparm -a /dev/sdy |
You should do some research before posting a question. The Seagate FreeAgent external disk problem has been around and discussed since the drives were first sold. Try using the LQ search feature and look for freeagent. Here are some references. Some of these were found using Google, others were found using the LQ web site search.

Thanks for that but what makes you think I didn't do research?
In fact I'm completely familiar with the issue presented in the url's you've provided and they're entirely unrelated. The disk is not not spinning down or going to sleep... but it isn't auto-mounting correctly. cheers |
figured out the problem. multipath daemon was growing the disk into the / filesystem. To correct I needed to add the following line to /etc/multipath.conf
Code:
devnode_blacklist { now this one disk is behaving well and working independently from the all the others. Hope this solution helps someone. cheers :) |
