I recently purchased a Western Digital 1TB usb drive. I can mount and read/write to it on my other machines. I have tried to mount it to my Linhes box without success. The device is seen by the system using lsusb

Code:
[root@kb-hes ~]# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1f4d:9016 G-Tek Electronics Group
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 1058:0740 Western Digital Technologies, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 13d3:3304 IMC Networks


But not with fdisk -l
Code:
[root@kb-hes ~]# fdisk -l

Nor is it seen with blkid
Code:
[root@kb-hes ~]# blkid -o list -c /dev/null
device     fs_type label    mount point    UUID

/dev/sda1  ext4             /              fe4a8039-3696-4759-9ac4-08b1b60c7db6

[root@kb-hes ~]#


I have tried reformatting it to ext4, then back to ext3 and setting permissions for everyone and his dog but it remains mostly invisible to Linhes. I can't think of anything else to try.

Solved
It was a permissions problem. I mounted the drive on another machine and then executed (with the appropriate path):

Code:
sudo chmod 777 /media/mountpoint


After that the drive showed up in Linhes. :D
