Re: [SLUG] External USB Hard Drive Case + HDD

[Brett Fenton]

I've got a Lacie 120GB USB2 external HDD. There wasn't much required to 
get it going. I already had USB2 working and also USB-storage, basically 
I just plugged it in, looked in /proc/scsi and it was there as /dev/scd2 
from memory (as I already had two ide cd-r's in the box as scd1 and 2). 
From there it was just a matter or creating the FS and mounting it.

Good luck

Brett

to start!
