I have an existing hard drive that I would like to partition for ext3fs then utilize for backing up data files from a new machine. My problem is that this HDD has a full version of FC4, and if I have it switched on when connected by external USB when booting the new system, it will hang the process. New equipment is SATA with recent version of FC5; No problem when running by itself. I just haven't been able to read or see this external because I have to wait till FC5 boots; then it's to late. I have tried various timed events but still no worky. Can I make an entry to /etc/fstab or some related config file as you would to mount a new floppy or CD? This is my first time at the ext3 forum and a new Linux user, so any help with commands or procedures to implement ext3, or whatever would be the best suited fs, is greatly appreciated.
