I put a new server together with CentOS 4. This server is doing a number
of functions including ntp, mail, and web server. I had a USB drive
plugged in and it was working great. I could access it at /media/usbdisk
and I copied lots of data to it.

I felt the server was "complete" so I wanted to move it. I shut it
down,
moved it, etc. Everything is ok, except that I cannot access the usbdisk
now. If I plug it into my laptop (FC4) I can access it without any
problems.

When I plug it into the server I get:

Problem is when I go to /media/usbdisk there's nothing there. Anyone
have any suggestions?

Thanks,
