It is disgusting that I can't handle a simple mounting issue!!
I am trying to mount an external usb disk on a debian etch server but
somehow it just won't recognise the disk.
On plugging out and plugging in the drive, "dmesg | tail" only shows
usb 1-3: USB disconnect, address 10
usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using address 11
tail -f /var/log/messages does not say anything more.
"fdisk -l" does not show the disk.
************
Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 293.6 GB, 293617820160 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 35697 cylinders

*************
modprobe -l | grep sr_mod shows that sr_mod is there.
There is nothing wrong with the external disk. It is a new disk and
mounts fine on another machine (running ubuntu 7.10).
The server used to run debian sarge until sometime back and I
remember having used usb drives without any issue. I have not used an
external usb drive since the server was upgraded.
Would be grateful for any leads.
