I know this isn't specifically a Gentoo issue, but it's what I use and if any patches/changes are necessary, I'd like to know the Gentoo specific ones.
I'm interested in using Iomega's Rev Drive (probably the USB 2.0 version) to backup some large files/directories on my system. However, before I purchase the drive, I want to know if anyone has used/is using this drive successfully on Gentoo without any third party software. Specifically, is anyone able to simply connect the drive, insert a disk, mount it and create a filesystem? I understand that the Rev Drive uses a UDF-like filesystem. If it is possible to mount the disk and create a udf filesystem, can the same drive/disk be mounted on other OSs (ie: Windows or Mac OS X)? TIA, -Hani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
