But, on opensuse 10.2, the device does not even seem to be noticed by the system (does not register with lsusb or dmesg).
John, you might try the new kernel that was posted about within the last three days, where usbfs is re-enabled.
This kernel changes absolutely nothing with hotplugging USB Storage Deviecs.
I think that 10.2 sort of leaves mounting up to the desktop software (kde) or something, because if I plug in a usb drive at runlevel 3 I get results similar to yours.
It should show up in lsusb from the start even so.
Is an enabled usbfs a necessary (if not sufficient) condition for USB HDDs?
No.
Note on this same system USB memory sticks still work fine. It's just the external USB enclosure which makes no impression.
Then it is another bug. Is enough power attached to the enclosure? Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
