Hello, I just got a 500G FreeAgent (Seagate) drive. I have it working via ivman:
/dev/sdb1 466G 144M 466G 1% /media/FreeAgent Drive Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bc2:3000 Seagate RSS LLC I'm able to cd into it's directory tree and read various files. I assume it has NTFS by default. I have all of the legacy doz file systems enabled along with idonify in the kernel. I want to use it on both gentoo and windows systems for a variety of tasks. What the best way to set it up (ideas) so as to ensure what I copy onto the drive, form either gentoo or xp I can copy off onto a gento or XP based system? Should I delete any of the original stuff that Seagate installs on the drive? Also, I'm thinking about a udev rule or fstab entry on the gentoo system to uniquely identify the drive as I often attach several usb(stick or drive) devices to one system at any given time; so I'm looking for a scheme that they will each be unquely recognized (Labeled? any caveats?
