Once upon a time a boy had a tape backup, and it was good.
Then the backup failed, and it was bad. This cycle repeated itself many times, and this was also bad.
Then the boy bought a 200gig USB2.0 Hard Drive, and this was good, after it was bad for a while.
This is the story of his quest...
First of all, only recent versions of the Linux kernel (2.4.19 and newer if I remember correctly) will even support fast transfer rates over USB2.0 for hard drives. If you have an earlier kernel, forget it.
Also forget it if you want to run RedHat 9 with SMB mounts in any reliable fashion. There are also some miscellaneous GLIBC related gotchas in this release. (side note: I think that RedHat 9 is probably the most unreliable release since 7.0, although that is just my opinion).
The first thing you need to do is make sure you are running the newest of the new kernels. Check for 2.4.20-8. FreshRPMs is my favourite place to get the newest stuff. Installing apt-rpm for RedHat is a good idea too.
Once this is done, edit your /etc/modules.conf file and change the line
-> alias usb-controller [something]
to read
-> alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
Now, download usbtree and put it in /sbin or something. Reboot, and run usbtree with your snazzy USB2.0 hard drive attached. You should see something like this:
Congrats. You have a high speed USB drive. If everything is working properly, you should now be able to mount and/or fdisk it just as though it was your next available SCSI device (ie:/dev/sdb (like on my NAS server):
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 29186 234436513+ 83 Linux

The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do.

he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both high posts are reserved for men
favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter
facts of life in bandages of self-illusion.
