Comment 3 for bug 1040638

I don't know if i need to open a new bug, since this is expired, however I came across the same bug with the same external hard disk, a WD 500GB.

In my setup all usb disks were detected except this one. In my lts.conf file I have LOCALDEV_DENY_INTERNAL_DISKS=true

In the ltsp client I noticed in syslog that ltspfs_entry bash script failed with exit code 1 for this disk, so I run it manually as with -x to see what was the problem.

I have attached the output of bash -x ltspfs_entry add /dev/sdb1

The disk is detected as ata just like if it was an internal. I compared with an internal disk and saw one variable that could make a difference, $DEVPATH that had usb in its path.

I made the next patch. I don't know if it is the proper one but it worked well for me, mounting the external WD disk, while not mounting any internals.
