Now the drive shows up as sdc1. When I plug it in Konqueror pops up showing the drive's contents: system:/media/sdc1 > How about `ls -l /media/sdb1` and `ls -ld /media/sdb1/path/to/dir/you/ > cannot/cd/into`? ls -ld /media/sdc1 ls: cannot access /media/sdc1: No such file or directory but it does show up as 'FreeAgent Drive' ls /media/ FreeAgent Drive sdb1 sdb12 sdb5 sdb7 sdb8 sdb9 sdc sdc3 sdd sdd1 This seems to indicate that the names used by Konqueror and udev are not consistent. I can go through Konqueror and read the file, but the edits do not work via Konqueror or with vi going thru the dir tree to access the file. dr-x------ 1 james root 4096 Oct 13 2007 FreeAgent Drive # chmod 777 FreeAgent\ Drive/ chmod: changing permissions of `FreeAgent Drive/': Read-only file system > If you're unable to run these commands, are you able to do so as > root, using `su` or `sudo`? > I tried everything as root. I have support for the necessary file systems in the kernel. However, I do think my problem is the kernel options.... James -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
