I have a 2TB external HDD in a case. My recent router see the HDD but this one not. Both use 1.9.2.
The only thing what I see is this log message:
Code: Select all

Weird. It's a USB 3.0 capable case and if I use a USB 2.0 hub the router detects the drive correctly. Why?

Is it powered or unpowered?
Is the hub powered or unpowered?

The HDD is. The hub not.

Can you show a "dmesg" after plugging it directly in? And after using the hub to plug it in please?

You mean the router or the HDD? My other router handle the USB3 hub and the HDD well. It's a Nexx WT3020F.
The hub is an Orico W6PH4 model. The HDD case recognised as ASMT 2105 as far as I remember. I have no way to check it now. The HDD is an internal Western Digital Purple 2TB. I have a USB2 case too with a Western Digital Green 1TB HDD.
Which one should I test?

Plug a USB stick in to the router and run dmesg. If you see it detected you know it's not the router
