Ohthreefive · [Solved] External hard drive issue Ohthreefive May 17, 2019 at 1:09 PM

Despite my confidence, power was the issue. I bought this: Belkin mains USB hub and it’s working fine now.

It has a higher output that my older PiHut hub. Still find it a bit strange that the PiHut can power one WD 2Tb drive but not the other but more importantly, I have a perfectly functional LibreELEC setup now!

Thanks for the help.

Sorry, Iridium, no idea about SElinux

I had thought about power but the NTFS drive that works is identical so I think I can conclude the power from the hub is ok based on that?

`dmesg` output: http://ix.io/1hws

There should be 5 directories on the drive:

Code

moviePi:~ # ls -al /var/media/WD2Tb_White/
total 0
drwx------    2 root     root            60 Jun 22  2018 .
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root            60 Jun 22  2018 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Jun 22  2018 .udevil-mount-point

Running 9.0.1 on RPi2

Have connected a 2Tb WD drive via powered hub

The drive is formatted to ext4 and fully readable on my Solus desktop machine

Navigating the LE file manager to /var/media shows my drive but if I enter it none of the 5 directories on it are visible.

Same if I `ls /var/media/WD2Tb_drive` Over ssh - nothing seen on the drive.

So it seems to have been mounted but... why aren’t the directories visible or navigable?

I have an almost identical 2Tb WD drive attached to my home server for Plex. Only difference is that it’s NTFS file system. If I attach that to the RPi everything works fine.

Any tips would be helpful. I’ve done `dmesg `df -h` etc. but can’t seem to think of a way forward in my investigation!
