External Drive’s Name

Hello,

I received my external usb/firewire (400/800) drive, it’s quiet nice not very thin but seems robust enough with some rubber protection around it and this is a good point as it’s my daily work external drive !

/dev/sdb1 on /media/pr0n type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

It’s an easy tip but I didn’t know it before 😉
