I would watch /var/log/messages or dmesg output as I plug in the device (maybe try a couple of systems to see if there's a difference).
If there's no output, the enclosure is dead and your drives are probably ok. If you get some output, there may be a hint as to the problem there. Could be anything at this point. -wes On Wed, Mar 21, 2018 at 11:15 AM, John Jason Jordan <[email protected]> wrote: > The command ls -la has always displayed all the directories first and > then individual files.
