I have an external drive (Lacie box) with 2 partitions: HFS+ and FAT32.
Here's a bunch of questions

- When I plug it in, only FAT partition is mounted; I have to go through Mounter to un mount it and mount the HFS+ one. This is because both partitions have the same name "usbscsi0": if I change it, they can be mounted together. Question is if there's a way to make this permanent, as there is no "save" option and a mountlist would require me to have the drive always plugged in. (It'd be ok also if HFS+ partition was mounted instead of FAT one)

- HFS+ partition is always write protected. I regularly use the drive with Linux and OS X with no problem whatsoever, while on MorphOS I'm not able to write data on it.

- Spin down: I've read on the forums about IDEStandby, but it doesn't seem to work (returns errors and the hd is still going).
Code:
How is it supposed to work?

Thanks!

Isn't HFS+ support in morphOS read only at the moment?
That would account for it always being write protected.

Not if you put it in storage.

Yes, writing is only supported for HFS partitions.

Try disabling Simple SCSI in massstorage.class.

Thanks for your suggestions.

- I made a mountlist and put it in MOSSYS:Storage/DOSDrivers but nothing changed, maybe I'm not good at making mountlists
- I got confused about HFS+ write support, sorry
- After disabling "Simple SCSI" I still get the same error

Some news:
After getting the error on IDEStandby, if I wait about 10 seconds and then unplug the USB cable, the drive is switched off.
Still no improvements playing around with mountlists...
