My experience is that most USB drives 'just work' nowadays in Linux, you only get into OS issues when the drive is a network drive connected by ethernet.
Nearly all cheap NAS systems do *only* Samba and that not very well so don't always talk nicely with linux Samba.
OK - I can /just/ about accept that, though my experience is different.
But that is not what you said in your original email. You implied that any networked drive connected over ethernet (no application level protocols mentioned) could give difficulty.
Maybe it's me, but I prefer some precision in advice.
