External (Firewire) Harddisk & Suspend to disk

[swr]

Hi everybody!
I have a problem when resuming from suspend to disk. My external HD, connected via ieee1394, seems to be mounted, but there no files are displayed in the directory. Trying to mount results in

mount: /dev/disk/by-uuid/C14B-E4C6 already mounted or /media/MYBOOK busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/MYBOOK

I can umount it, but when I try to mount again:

mount: /dev/disk/by-uuid/C14B-E4C6 is not a valid block device

When I unplug the Disk and plug it in again, everything is fine. But it would be much nicer if it would work right after resuming. Anybody got an idea how to do this?

Hi I have also problems with mounting my external Firewire Western Digital Disk

I have searhed for solutions but didn't found any.

One thing that you have to make clear is if your disk is NTFS formatted then you have to install the NTFS 3-g driver.

But you maybee already know this.

When I Am trying to mount the disk I get the error message

An error occurred while enabling /media/Mybook.
The system reported: mount: special device <device> does not exist

PP75/Peter: You have a problem in /etc/fstab, namely, where there should be a device node, you have "<device>".
