Re: [9fans] USB HDD connection problem

[Bela Valek <bvalek2@gmail.com>]

I tried a recent distribution image (Aug15). The live CD worked with
my external harddrive, after plugging it in i issued 'usbfat:', and i
was able to read and write files on it. When I installed it, 'usbfat:'
said that there are no usb disks. usbd was running (5 threads), I will
try ls '#u' when i have access to the machine.
