Re: Quicker mounting of external Firewire drives
Authored by: Bobson on Jul 30, '03 10:30:27PM

I've got the same problem, but I know why it does it. I stuck an internal HD in an external FW case. It takes about a minute to power up to the point where it will mount. How do I know? If I restart or unmount-unplug-replug the drive, it shows up in the usual 5-10 seconds. If it's plugged in but off, and I turn it on, it takes longer. If I turn it on, wait a minute then plug it in, it's 5-10 seconds.
