RE: [gentoo-user] Laptop HDD Caddy Shack

[Gwendolyn van der Linden]

 I have just purchased a Laptop HDD, and I am now in the
 market for a nice small caddy shack for it.  I was after
 any recommendations for a caddy shack that has USB2.0 and
 is compatible with Linux.  I seen an advertisements a while
 ago advertising laptop HDD caddy shack that was Linux
 compatible (although can't remember the brand).  This made
 me think, does the caddy shack need to be compatible with
 Linux to work under Linux?  Or if your kernel is compiled
 correctly the majority of caddy shacks should work?

In the kernel config you can find a few options for particular USB
storage device chip sets.  I use a Jewel USB 2.0 mobile harddisk
enclosure with a 20 GB 2.5 HDD, which works OK with Windows, but not
flawless with Linux, using vanilla USB mass storage support.  Writing
large files sometimes hangs in Linux (both vfat and ext2).  An older 4
GB HDD I had did not work at all (Windows not Linux).

Hope this helps.

Gwendolyn.
