The only problem I'm having with USB drives is that frequently-used plug connections go bad after a while. Meaning that in the middle of a session you lose the drive as if you had pulled the plug and have to re-mount it. This is annoying, but I've never lost data that way (with ext3 journaling fs). --D. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
