Does Linux support the little jump drives?

Re: a support question

[Joseph C. Lininger]

I'm not sure what these drives are. Is that a brand, type of drive, or what?
I could probably tellyou if Linux supports them if I knew this.

Re: a support question

[Diana Dawne]

The container I have says a jump drive.  They are little things the 
sales person called them thumb drives.  They connect to a usb port and 
they are a storage device.  They are supposed to be good for storing 
pictures and let's say a sound that you don't want to use a whole cd 
for.  You supposedly can drop them in your pocket take them cross 
country hook them up to a different computer, and you have your pictures 
or documents.  I believe that some of them actually fit on key chains.  

love,

Diana

Re: a support question

[Gregory Nowak]

Yeah, I've heard of those. Some of the more expensive ones are
supposedly manufactured with a microprocessor inside, which can
execute a certain program when it detects a USB connection to the pc.

I'd try the usb-storage module, and see what that does. Don't quote me
on that though. I don't have one of these little wonders myself, I
heard everything I know about them somewhere else.

Re: a support question

[Guy Abandon.]

Most modern versions/distros now have p&p usb support by default now.
I have one of these things and very good they are too.  I'm trying to
find the novel one that doubles up as a mp3 player from the material
you load onto it.  I think it charges the internal battery offf the
usb socket when plugged in, so I guess you have to leave it plugged in
a while periodically.  That was a 128Mb model, the one at work is a
256 which is the largest Ive heard of so far.

GA!

Re: a support question

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Sounds like a USB memory device. The short answer to your question is yes,
most likely. The long answer is that would depend on the type of drive.
Linux supports most of these types of drives, but you may need to recompile
your kernel and/or obtain a module for the type of drive you have.
Generally, most distros don't compile this support even as a module by
default, though you should have a copy of the Linux source so you can
compile in the support. I'd be happy to provide assistance with this if you
need it.

RE: a support question

[Sina Bahram]

I am familiar with these drives, I have seen them myself from a friend,
and his 128 mb HD is as big as your pointer finger and about as thin, if
not thinner. I read somewhere online that Linux, well I should say
RedHat supported these drives. But it was not on an official RedHat
page, and the site is probably gone now. I would recommend calling the
sales person back and asking her for technical support, they might be
able to tell you if linux supports their products.

Hth,
Sina

Re: a support question

[Ron Marriage]

Hi Diana,

Not sure what you mean by the little jump drives, if you
mean the small thumbnail drives from various companies, then
yes it does.

Depending on the device, many are recognized as simply
another hard drive, others a sczi drive.  Either way you are
good to go.

I have a small thumbnail drive myself and use it to carry
documents to other locations.  It is USB so works on linux
and windows.

Re: a support question

[Diana Dawne]

That is the type of drive I was talking about.  The package calls it a 
jump drive, the sales person said it was a thumb drive.  Last night a 
friend was looking at it and it says it already has software loaded on 
the drive which they recomment you back up.  What you want to bet that 
is windows software!

love,

Diana

Re: a support question

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Of course it is. They only give you Windows software anymore. However, you
shouldn't need any special software under Linux to use the drive, as long as
the kernel supports it. Do you know the make and model?

It is a jump drive with 256 megs.  It is a cute little thing but someone 
else could use it if I can't.

Re: a support question

[Joseph C. Lininger]

the Lexar Jumpshot drives are supported by Linux. However, you should be
aware that the support is currently experimental and such can be dangerous.
It probably won't crash your machine, however I would advise that if you use
the drive under Linux, don't keep critical data on it. Then again, that
argument can be made for any storage device. You should always have at least
two copies of critical data. <grin> Anyway, if you would like help setting
up Linux to work with the Lexar jumpshot drives, just drop a line. Would be
happy to help.
