I bought an external drive from costco to do backups, but it won't mount, etc. External drive: Seagate Ultra Slim MT, 2TB
Nothing shows up in /dev/
Nothing shows up with fdisk -l
Nothing shows up with mount
lsusb works:
dmesg shows:Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0bc2:ab2d Seagate RSS LLC
which is pretty much the same as /var/log/messages, but which also has:[ 484.194577] usb 4-1: new SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd

I looked into the mtp line from /var/log/messages, and it looks like that is related to android cell phone/usb connections, which is not my prob.> Nov 19 21:17:56 delight mtp-probe: checking bus 4, device 2: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/0000:03:00.0/usb4/4-1"
> Nov 19 21:17:56 delight mtp-probe: bus: 4, device: 2 was not an MTP device
So I looked into the errors:
and found a post on ubuntu forums which was pretty much identical but with no replies, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2374508stat urb: status -32
data cmplt err -32 uas-tag 1 inflight: CMD
On Debian forums I see something similar, but not really http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... +status+32
A post with a very similar problem and with a solution is on stack, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/467 ... ernal-driv, but this looks way too complicated, like this is going to waste a week of my life just to try to get a disk mounted.
Is this something I should try because I'll run into this problem with every disk I try, or should I just buy a different disk and expect things to work more smoothly?
