I have a Western Digital USB 2.0 ... ext3 ... which was happy until
yesterday. My /etc/fstab looks like this:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
/dev/hda6       /       ext2    defaults        0       1
/dev/hda5       none    swap    sw              0       0
proc            /proc   proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/fd0        /floppy auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/cdrom      /cdrom  iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/hda1       /c      ntfs    ro,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000
/dev/hda2       /d      vfat    ro,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000
none            /proc/bus/usb   usbfs   defaults        0       0
/dev/sda1       /external       ext3    defaults,user

and I have this entry in /proc/bus/usb/devices right now:

E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms

I've rebooted, tried switching some options in /etc/fstab ...
unplugging/replugging stuff ... pulling my hair out ...

I can't figure out what changed between two days ago and now (besides a
reboot and updating Firefox).

Where do I look for clues, eh? Did I miss something?

Thanks in advance,

CMP
