Assuming that the drive has already been partioned with fdisk/cfdisk and formatted with whatever filesystem you choose to put on it, I try the following. when logged in as root: 1) does /etc/fstab properly show the filesystem type of hdb2? if it does not, I would specify the filesystem in the mount command. (mount -t type device dir) 2) Unmount the disk and reinstall the filesystem on the hard drive. Check for errors in the output. 3) check out hdparm, it might be worth a try.

doesnt matter
------------------ Mounted as /mnt/HDB2 it also shows 777 privileges.
[root@pacman mnt]# ls -l drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 Sep 15 21:25 HDB2 <===
------------------ But I can not make a ordinary directory on it. What am I not doing?
what is the `mount` output for that mount point ? is there anything interesting in the `dmesg` log ? -mike
