I'm trying to connect a new unformatted disk, using usb to fc5. Now I intend to partion this drive using fdisk. The question is how do I know what device it will get? I suppose it should be something likde /dev/sda as other USB drives I connect seam to use SCSI emulation. But if I try fdisk /dev/sda and the rest of the alphabet nothing shows up.

Hi Uno Engborg! This found googling "format usb hard drive linux" # General Tutorial http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Add_a_new_hard_drive These I found by Googleing "blank usb disk linux": # One hard for the 2.4 series Kernel http://users.actrix.co.nz/michael/neodeo.html # For a flash drive but issues are similar http://www.althack.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=27 I would be interested in looking at system and messages in /var/log along with dmesg, also there are usb query tools: http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html http://www.linux-usb.org/ http://www.linux-usb.org/tools.html Good Hunting!
