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?

My usb 2.0 HD is not recognized by FC2 it's listed in info center under

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

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.
HTH, Tom
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.
