2 TB HDD not automounting under Debian.
Hi all,
This is on a testing machine What happened is I bought a 2 TB Seagate
Backup Plus Slim
couple of days ago. The system is an old system having few USB 2 ports
while the HDD is USB 3 but supposedly backward compatible. I can see
the HDD via lsusb and fdisk but for some reason it's unable to
automount it. Any ideas what could be the issue ?
Sharing what I saw :-
$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0bc2:ab24 Seagate RSS LLC
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c05a Logitech, Inc. M90/M100 Optical Mouse
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
As can be seen there are few USB 1.1 ports and few 2.0 ports. As can
be seen Seagate attaches and declares itself at Bus 005 Device 003: ID
0bc2:ab24 .
I also checked via fdisk -l and got the following :-
$ sudo fdisk -l

Except for /dev/sdb4 which says it's W95 the rest of them seem to be
ok. Then why it is that the disk does not automount ?
I have Seagate Expansion disks and they mount under nautilus or any
other file storage viewer but not this.
Looking forward to know what could possibly be the reason and if it's
not related to the kernel guide me to the proper package for the same.
Thank you.
