Best way to format a new USB drive
Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2017 11:32 am
I purchased a new My Passport Ultra a few days ago. I formatted it as ex4 since this will be a backup only for my Linux systems. I been using clonezilla to image the primary drive. Well I go thought the steps of selecting the source and the backup location the new drive called backup. For some reason the image always ends up in the root directory with root access. I have done this twice with the new version of clonezilla the drive path is
/media/main/backup <-- is this correct path?
All backup is only root accessible on this drive. I am wondering what I did wrong if anything?. I know this has one
USB 2.0 connection but how do I find out which one it is on the laptop? once I find it I am going to mark it. Maybe I have to permissions wrong?
thanks
