I need to keep a directory on the laptop sync-ed with a directory on a usb drive. I can't get rsync to accept the sda1, even though I've tried several variations of address in the command. I must be missing something? It's mounted normally for a usb drive, under media:/, but that obviously doesn't act as a normal directory, since you can't ls it. Clarification of this would be useful, too, for future use. Thanks Anne
