My usb 2.0 HD is not recognized by FC2 it's listed in info center under 'usb', but not under 'Storage Devices' How do I mount this HD? Does FC2 have usb 2.0 support? or do I have to re-config my kernel? Im using FC2 with the default 2.6.5-358 kernel Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My usb 2.0 HD is not recognized by FC2 it's listed in info center under 'usb', but not under 'Storage Devices'
I've never personally used a usb 2.0 hd.. but a question.. did usb-storage get loaded? (modprobe usb-storage)
How do I mount this HD? Does FC2 have usb 2.0 support? or do I have to re-config my kernel?
USB 2.0 should work fine
Ummmmmmmm. I did 'modprobe usb-storage' but i get no output, i just goes back to a console prompt:
[root@darkstar root]# modprobe usb-storage [root@darkstar root]#
does this mean it didn't get loaded? or am I using the wrong syntax?

that means it loaded.. you can then do 'lsmod' to see what modules are loaded.
I would also do a 'dmesg' after you run that, and see what information was tossed in there after running it.
I think usb drives typically show up as scsi?
With my usb key chain (not sure if its the same), it shows up as sda..
so i
modprobe usb-storage mkdir /mnt/usb mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

OMG that worked, I can now mount my usb HD.
I did just what you said below. Thanks netmask, your the man! One more little thing, I want to mount this at boot time, so would I use the same syntax to update my fstab file? /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb-drive or do I have to declare the file format like for mounting NTFS?

The dmesg or do a tail -f /var/log/messages when you plug it in. YOu should see some output.
I have one too. It's Recognised properly.

PLEASE add replies to the bottom so we can read down through the problem before your reply. Nuff said. On to the problem.
You also need to check the files in "/cet/udev/permissions.d & /rules.d " to see if your device is covered with the existing rules/permissions and whether a symlink is being created.
Read "man udev" and visit http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php for information about usb device rules.

I mount a USB 2.0 HD formatted as VFAT (FAT32) as mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/largedrive
And I don't write any files over 4GB on it. That is the limit of file size on a FAT32 formatted drive. If the drive is formatted NTFS, you will need a NTFS driver.

Uhm, NO. I didn't top post, I addressed each issue inline. That is NOT bad netiquette. Don't preach to me. Unless you think I was the original poster or something, in which case the err is yours.
