Hi Randy,
I attached the result of my investigation yesterday evening.
Before I try to patch my system with the patch I was sent
by Ralf Ertzinger. It would be the first time and I'm a little
anxious of it.
So before doing this dangerous manipulation, I give you
the information requested and a little more. It might be
only a problem in my /etc/fstab?
Thank for help,
Xavier.

There is nothing in /proc/bus/usb/devices before of after the USB drive has been
plugged
