It's surprisingly cool, when I tried to mount it on another computer
which is sid one,
it works, I can copy and paste and also no problems create new folder.
and the mount information is different:
/dev/sdb1 on /media/FreeAgent GoFlex Drive type fuseblk
(rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)
seems I don't need reformate?
