This all depends on the device. If the unit acts as a hub, plugging in the device with both drives installed, it's possible that it will be presented as /dev/sdc OR /dev/sdc && /dev/sdd. The only simple way is to test it, and check the dmesg output or tail the /var/log/messages file. If the operating system only sees one device, then the case is doing something internal and you likely won't be able to change. You would likely be able to guess at it by getting size information on the filesystem using parted or fdisk on the presented device. dafr _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
