Hello.
I use openSUSE Leap 15.3. Trouble is, when I attach USB sticks from 16-128 GB there are no problems. They are mounted and read immediately upon being attached.
When I attach large external USB disks, there is a different story. The disks most often do not show up. Sometimes they do, but most times I must read the disks (formatted with EXT4, FAT32 and EXFAT) on a Mac laptop in order to access them. Which, admittedly, makes me ashamed.
The question is why this happens.
To elucidate the problem, I have typed fdisk -l and dmesg, and the results are in the links below. I shall be extremely thankful if you can have a look at these outputs and see if you can spot the source of my problem. If these files do not provide a clue, please tell me what commands I should try next.
In both cases, an external disk was attached. However, the system failed to see it.
The fdisk -l output:

The dmesg output:

The dmesg you have provided does not show you plugging in the USB cable. Could you run dmesg -w and then plug in the USB cable? Then post the new output.
He did already. https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/users@lists.opensuse.org/message/KO... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.3)
