New USB Disk Wont mount

[Mijzelf]

Does that disk in Windows also have 4K sectors? According to your Fedora log the system fails in loading some module, about at the moment it should decode the partition table. Maybe it's trying to load a module for rare partition tables?

If there is nothing on the disk, you could try to wipe the first few MB's (Active killdisk), to remove any possibly invalid partition table, and look if at least the block device is recognized by Fedora/NS2.

Thanks for that.

I'll have a look over the weekend family permitting :-)

[rafesl]

ok its takend me a few days to get a chance to play with this.
I've done the killdisk thing and reformatted etc.
That made no difference in terms of getting it mounted on my NS2.

But I did try an Ubuntu 13.10 pen drive boot and that seems to work just fine.

So... it can work with a Linux install, but is there any way of working out what needs to be done to get it operational on the NAS?

Thanks

this means that the driver is loaded. There must be a reason why mount fails
We can try to mount it manully, which format is used on the disk 9ext3, ntfs, fat32...)

Connect vi ssh server of the nwsp2 (for example using putty) username: root password: giveit2me
at linux command line give command

Code: Select all

fdisk -l

As this is a 3TB disk fdisk might not be able to read the partiton table.
In that case use

Code: Select all

gdisk -l /dev/sdb

if it finds sdb besides sda and sdb has at least a 1 partition then we can proceed to try to mount it
create a mount point and mount it

Code: Select all

mkdir /sdb1
mount /dev/sdb1 /sdb1

if this succeeds than we can trouble shot further, if it fails we need to error message
ps To see which disk are already mounted you can give the command

Code: Select all

mount

[rafesl]

the snippets I included in my last post are from the Ubuntu mount attempt.

All I continue to get on the NS2 is the usual
"[ 1530.648362] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1"

I'll try it over the weekend on an older ubuntu to see what happens.
I was detected but not mountable on the Fedora I tried previously, so I'm leaning towards it being the module / kernel that's not happy.

Think you missed my point.

you should connect to the nwsp2 using the ssh server running on the nwsp2.
You can use a program like Putty for it, that is a ssh client running on windows. If you connect to the ssh server you get a linux command prompt and access to the the running linux system running on the nwsp2.
Then you should perform the commands I gave you (so in putty window) to see whys the nwsp2 doesn't mount.

I think I understood what you wanted but that it wouldn't work because I think you misunderstood me to start with. But I'm not going to ignore the person trying to help me.

I've sshd to the NAS and just checked and I'm still getting

The disk is not being recognised by the NAS for some reason, which I'm guessing is down to something in the kernel or one of the modules.
Just for giggles I'm building a Ubuntu 12.04 USB boot disk to see if that will recognise and mount it.

Hi rafesl
Seem that several people are the same issue with hub device (make a google search "hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB")

So you should have other lines in the dmesg that could help fvdw...

[fvdw]

i see
I googled your message "unable to enumerate USB device on port 1"

I found that ehci_hcd could be the problem for some devices or usb/sata adapaters
Unloading the ehci_hcd module is possible but then you will not be able to use the usb port , I guess we need then an alternative module. Need to have closer look

---edit
seems the xhci_hcd module could be a solution, that supports usb 3.0. Reverting back to ohci_hcd is no option tht supports only usb 1.1

I will compile it

[fvdw]

I compiled it and it loads, but it doesn't detect the usb hub inside the nwsp2, probably because it isn't usb 3.0 compatible. Its a usb 2.0 hub

Seems ubuntu also use ehci driver (2.0)
