Then you can use "grep" to filter things... as your WD My Book hard disk seems to be identified as "sdc" you could run: grep -i sdc /var/log/syslog* > One is a WD My Passport, with an NTFS filesystem, and holds > 640Gigs. It is self-powered (has no AC Adapter). That's usually bad, these kind of devices tend to be problematic because motherboard USB ports do not always provide the required voltage to properly power attached devices :-( > I've never had a problem with it.
