I have about 50GB worth of files to move, a couple files which are like 5GB in size so I don't think FAT32 would work.
In any case, I have an external hard drive with 2 partitions I already pre-formatted:
Code:
#fdisk
Disk: sd1 geometry: 12161/255/63 [195371568 Sectors]
Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55
Starting Ending LBA Info:
#: id C H S - C H S [ start: size ]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0: 83 0 32 33 - 12033 171 42 [ 2048: 193318912 ] Linux files*
1: 0B 12033 171 43 - 12161 72 7 [ 193320960: 2050048 ] Win95 FAT-32
2: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0: 0 ] unused
3: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0: 0 ] unused
Here is my dmesg:
Code:
# dmesg

sd1 detached
scsibus2 detached
umass1 detached
umass1 at uhub0 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "Seagate USB Mass Storage" rev 2.00/0.02 addr 3

sd1: 95396MB, 512 bytes/sec, 195371568 sec total
It just repeats this over and over every time I unplug/plug in my external hard drive.
On the FAT32 drive, I created a test text file, but I can't seem to mount /dev/sd1i:
Code:
# mount_msdos /dev/sd1i /mnt/mount1/
mount_msdos: /dev/sd1i on /mnt/mount1/: Device not configured
I can't seem to find the ext3 partition, either. I tried mounting mount_ext2fs /dev/sd1a, sd1b, etc. all the way up to like half the alphabet.
I thought I could put the larger files into ext3, use an ext3 reader on Windows 7, and copy over the files that way. The FAT32 I was just gonna use for the smaller files (like the Firefox executable installer and such).
Does anyone have any other ideas? I have like 2 more external drives
