Gutsy: USB drive not assigned device

[alp3t]

Hi all,

I've got an unformatted external USB drive that I'm trying to use with Gutsy. It's recognized fine by Fiesty, but since the switch to Gutsy, it appears that the system does not care to assign my drive an emulated scsi device. It's a Thecus N2050 hard drive enclosure, and here's the information that was requested from the debugging removable devices section [1]:

id: uid=1000(dave) gid=1000(dave) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),109(lpadmin),111(scanner),114(admin),1000(dave)
id hal: no such user
id haldaemon: uid=106(haldaemon) gid=110(haldaemon) groups=110(haldaemon),24(cdrom),25(floppy),46(plugdev),120(powerdev)

uname: Linux maximo 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

I will attach the outputs from gvm, udev, dmesg and lshal once the bug's created. There are no sd* devices (or sg* devices, for that matter....)

Thanks very much!

Looks like all that was required was to reload the usb_storage module, i.e.:

sudo modprobe -r usb_storage

// try to mount the thecus

sudo modprobe usb_storage

Hope that helps anyone that encounters a similar issue.
