Quote from Iridium

Try changing the USB connections for the drives. Also alternate the first drive. As the HUB works (No idea why) try in different USB ports USB2 and USB3.

I plugged both drives into the USB2 ports and it mounts both fine. It also seems as if it's the same USB3 port that fails when the're both plugged into USB3.

What kernel is Debian using? .. we're on mainline 5.4/5.5 now and I suspect they're still using the RK 4.4 kernel.

Sorry I don't know how to find the kernal info but this is the install wiki Rockpi4/Debian - Radxa Wiki

The HDD are externally powered. The usb hub isn't powered. Sorry forgot to mention that.

Hello.

I'm running Libreelec on a RockPi4 with two external HDDs formatted as ext4. Only one of the drives auto-mounts at boot and the other will auto-mount if I plug it in again.

Before remounting the second drive.

blkid : http://ix.io/2ce2

mount : http://ix.io/2ceb

dmesg : http://ix.io/2cec

After remounting

blkid : http://ix.io/2ce3

mount : http://ix.io/2ced

dmesg : http://ix.io/2cee

The drives auto-mount fine if I use a usb hub and also work fine in Debian without the usb hub. I'd like to get it working without the usb hub if possible.

Any help is appreciated.
