Problem mounting Lacie 2d 160GB Triple Interface on FC4

[ljpaff]

Hi all,
I had just installed Fedora 4 on my computer with kernel 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4. I had installed the kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.13-1, because the disk was from an Windows XP(NTFS).

When I connect the usb disk this is the information that system give me:

Another peculiar thing is that in work, i have two lacie 2d bigger disk 1Tb, one of them bought 6 months ago and the other last week. The first doesn't mount in other system like in my house (Same kernel, same packages) and the last one yes!.

Thanks for you patience,

Abraham

Could anyone help me please?

I have had this problem for several weeks now. In the latest Linux Journal in the article about desktop speed kernel swappiness is mentioned. The default is 60, that apparently means that 60 percent of the time the kernel helps you. I changed mine to 25. Now I have no problem. I was also told that some times that problem is caused by a "not good" cable. I have also changed cables.
