Re: USB issues.

Have you run "mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1" (and the same for another disk),
or the partitions still contain off-the-shelf Windoze compatible
universal filesystem? No idea what it's called, but it's RRREALLY slow
comparing to ext3. Downside is, you won't be able to swap the disk
between Windoze and Linux, but if you stick to Samba exports only,
it shouldn't matter.
