USB 2.0 Drive Reliability/Stability?
Hello,
I'm curious about
people's success and opinions on the general reliability and stability of
USB hard drives/CD burners/DVD drives on Debian with the 2.6
kernel.
I'm having
continuous problems using any app with any external USB 2.0 hard drive/CD
burner/DVD drive. For example, dvdbackup, abcde, acidrip, ogle, etc. all
start to read the fine but lock up in the end, an external HD will be accessible
for a while but end up reverting to a read-only file system and has to be
remounted for write access. Maybe it's my USB hub or ports that are
causing the problem?
At this
point, I'm just wondering if the problem is maybe with me and my
computer or if others have also had continuous bad luck using external USB 2.0
burners/DVD's/hard drives with Debian and the 2.6 kernel?
Thanks
much,
Patrick.
