Thanks for the pointer. The drive was spinning up OK; a bit of not
reading well on my part. The problem was that I hadn't installed
ntfs-3g. I had read in the docs that ntfs was installed in ubuntu by
default so I hadn't installed it. Turns out they are not the same thing.
One note, when I installed ntfs-3g there were many error messages,
several of which said that they were fatal. However, I was able to mount
the drive anyway and it seems to work.

Subject: [beagleboard] BBB does not recognize usb3 seagate 5TB drive
I'm wanting to use a BBB as a backup server for a cloud-based
mysqld. I'm running ubuntu 13.10 and I got a Seagate 5TB usb3 ntfs
expansion drive. I'm using it with my desktop that runs centos and
everything's OK. But when I tried moving the drive to the BBB, it
simply does not recognize it, i.e. "ls /dev" shows no difference
before and after I plug it in. I'm so used to things like this
just working that I'm really not sure where to start.
After you insert your drive, what errors do you see when you run the
command dmesg?
Regards,
John
