The part of 'sudo parted -l' that refers to the external hard drive is:
Code:
Model: WD Elements 25A2 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 1000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 1000GB 1000GB fat32 msftdata
The drive is automatically mounted, I presume by fstab, on bootup.
I have tried changing the name of the folder, from 'henry' to 'backup,' but it still says "waiting for '1.0 TB drive' to become connected."
The drive gives every appearance of being mounted, as it has been for the past year. I don't do anything to mount it. It just shows up in the launcher, or whatever that thing at the left side is.
I'm able to create folders and to write files to the drive with vi. When I created a new partition it deleted the previous backup folder; I created a new one with the same name with "sudo mkdir /media/roger/AA86-F663/henry."
