On or about 2004-01-31 21:26, Khürt Williams whipped out a trusty #2
pencil and scribbled:
Thanks for the info. I got the camera working. The camera entries
were already in the /etc/updfstab.conf.default. mount /dev/sda1
/mnt/camera/ did the trick.
I am still working on the Hitachi drive.

Also, once you are have troubleshooted your issue, always manually
unmount
your device before unplugging it, especially if you are performing write
operations to it.
How very important! If you don't believe that delayed-write is
working, try mounting a USB fs (one that uses a solid-state memory, like
Compact Flash or Smart Media), copying several MB of files from it to a
hdd, and note how slow it is. Then delete all the files on the USB
device, and copy all the files back. The copy is done almost in an
instant! But then, when you unmount it, you can see it take several
seconds to actually write the files from cache. So if you yanked it out
without unmounting it, you wouldn't really have anything.
