i have a similiar situation on my ORB 2.2 gig usb drive I can mount it and use it fine IF i keep it spinning by periodically accessing the mounted directory, if i let it sit it will spin down and when i try to access it I get all sorts of timeout errors and resetting errors. is there any way to change the default timeout so that the driver will wait longer for the drive to spin back up? thanks.. --- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> wrote: > William Ward <wardd@d1c47d61.gw206.dsl.airmail.net> > types: > > On Tue, Aug 14, 2001 at 03:25:31AM -0500, Mike > Meyer wrote: > > > William Ward > <wardd@d1c47d61.gw206.dsl.airmail.net> types: > > > > I have one of these.
