I should have followed up to the list when I fixed this. I'm doing so now. It turns out that I was following a lead from Mike McCarthy to run fsck, and I booted into single user mode where I happened to try to mount it before running fsck. After some ext3 journalling messages, the drive mounted. Everything appears to be fine now. Odd, but its working fine. I've had the drive and external enclosure for about 4 or 5 months or so. I use rsnapshot to do the backups. Since this will be in the archives, I happen to use an external enclosure, with Firewire / USB 2.0 capabilities, made by AMS. The model is Venus DS-2316CBK. And I'm using the 2.6 kernel. Thanks for the reply, Bill. -- Brian Clark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
