I have, for the moment, mounted it on the ubuntu machine, and shared it via nfs. I needed to get access to the disk to take backups. As soon as the backup is over, I will get the details SK asked for and post them. Thanks very much for a prompt reply.

Using USB to power a disk or similar high power consumption device is iffy at best. Plug in all cables if the drive enclosure has multiple cables, try another usb port (if you have multiple sets of ports on your box). If neither works, get an enclosure with external power :) Regards, -- Raju ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

[ilugd] Problem with mounting external disk on debian etch
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 Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 * 1 35366 284077363+ 83 Linux /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 35367 35697 2658757+ 5 Extended /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 35367 35697 2658726 82 Linux swap / Solaris * 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.
