Description James Li 2005-11-11 03:24:41 UTC 
When I connect a usb harddisk to x41, I can not find the harddisk partition by "fdisk -l" and usb-storage does not load automatically. when I use "usbview", the usb device can be founded in the usbview window. 

I insmod usb-storage driver manually, here is the message in "dmesg"

usb 5-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4

usb-storage: device found at 4

But "fdisk -l /dev/sdb" still can not found the partitions in sdb.

Seems to be submount specific or related to udev/hotplug
Comment 3 Hannes Reinecke 2006-03-09 11:23:03 UTC 
What is the content of /sys/block ?
Does 'sdb' appear there?
Comment 4 Hannes Reinecke 2006-03-22 09:49:08 UTC 
Appearently it's not that important.
