Dear LUGs,
I have an 2 GB pen drive. Pen drive is ext3 file system. I
used it in Ubuntu 7.10, RHEL4 Puppy linux 3 and Mandriva. In my experience,
i wish to expose some steps to be followed.
1. Use our pen drive in normal user instead of root for safe operation.
2. For copying files, first mount your pen drive with R/W permission. (
Ubuntu auto mount the device with read only permission.
3. Use only commands to copy files.It is easy to terminate the process in
middle. In GUI mode, some times file system get corrupted.
4. Never make to change file permissions of files available in pen drive.
this makes the file as read only and unable to edit.
5. make proper mounting and unmounting when using the drive.
All are requested to share thier experiences.
N.Padmanathan,
Ooty.
