greetings,
I've got a few usb related questions. I'll try to be concise and clear.
background info: I've got 2 120gb ide drives, in usb-compatible
enclosures. I see them as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.
1. how can I determine, with some certainty, whether the bus is 1.1 or 2.0?
2. is there a favorite usb 2.0 pci card for es 3.0?
3. any reason that my mkfs -V /dev/sdb1 command would cause the system
to crash/hang?
4. can I convert an ext2 partition to journal?
right now, my mkfs causes the system to crash/hang, and the fsck of my
90gb /dev/sda1 partition takes ~3 hours. and this at remote site I have
to drive to. ouch.
adv<thanks>ance
