[ltp] Trying to Mount USB hard drive

[Mendel Cooper]

Thanks, guys, for all the help in mounting a USB flash drive. It's
working fine now.

My success with that encouraged me to once again try to mount a 3.5" hard
drive in a USB enclosure. Hey, I figured I could maybe try mounting it on
/dev/sda1, just like the flash drive.

Well . . . It was about one-quarter part successful. The drive mounted,
but the system only recognized the first four cylinders of it. So,
I got 32 usable MB on an 8 GB drive. Even with fdisk, only 32 MB were
accessible.

And then that temporarily messed up the USB port. The CDR burner in a
USB enclosure wasn't recognized. The USB flash drive wouldn't mount. I
had to do a hardware reset, i.e., a reboot to fix all that up.

I figure that maybe /dev/sda1 isn't the right device for a USB hard drive.
Can anyone help on this?
