Not quite perfect on my SuSe 11.0 system, where the external (ice-box) usb hard drive was not recognised ‘out of the box’, but very damn close, and after just a tweak or two everything slipped into place nicely – many thanks!

Centos will automatically mount external hard drives via usb to /media/, well it did anyway on Centos 4.5 thanx

@good:
I had some problems too. The problem could be on /etc/fstab (when you mount the usb could send some errors… have a look to the syslog using “tail /var/log/messages/”)
