External Backup Disk Drive

[Ramesh Rao]

Charles, Steve Riley,

Thanks Charles. You have tried your best. Let me wait to hear from Steve..

Steve, does the output from "udevadm monitor" command sent yesterday shed some light, any light? I take it you are a kubuntu kernel/OS person.

Thanks in anticipation.

          Charles,

            

            Plugging in the USB (ext drive) after booting the
            workstation made no difference. There is no indication that
            a device has been  added. "Device Notifier" says "No devices
            available". On the contrary, if a flash drive is inserted in
            the same usb port, Device Notifier pops up, as it should.

            

            I am kind of lost..

            

            Thanks,

            Ramesh

    In that case, you have me flummoxed.  You can format it,

    but it is not loaded as a drive by the system.  It would seem

    to be some sort of device driver problem, except that you 

    can format the drive with GPartEd.

    Sorry, I cannot help you further.  This is one for a kernel expert

    or a USB expert.

    Good luck!

    

    Charles
