which appeared to be the read only device. I cannot umount this device and mount it to /dev/hdd1 ext3 . I would like to use this HDD to store the nackup data. Does any one tell me how to do this?
A quick guess: You weren't the root user when you tried to unmount it. Try "su -" to become root before unmounting it. Then you can go about partitioning/formatting it, if you need to.
