udisks --enumerate shows it? I'm sure you have looked into it, but any chance that it's in, say, /dev/sdc?

This is what I get: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/dm_2d0 /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/dm_2d1 /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/dm_2d2 /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda1 /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda2 /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda3 /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda5 and sadly nothing useful apparently.. It's very weird that it works on one and not the other, what can actually stop the partition to be discovered?

I have a problem with an external USB disk here, which is a WD 500Gb bought last year.

Recently I decided finally to format it to ext3, since I'm using Linux everywhere, but now I don't seem to see it from my dell latitude.

On my mini dell everything works perfectly, but on the latitude I get only this from dmesg

[ 8916.825474] usb 2-1.2: USB disconnect, device number 11 [ 8917.013895] usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 12 using ehci_hcd [ 8919.126604] usb 2-1.2: USB disconnect, device number 12 [ 8919.314274] usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 13 using ehci_hcd

Looks like a flaky USB connection to me. Have you tried other ports or perhaps other USB devices on that same port?

mvg, Guus

All USB ports work perfectly on this machine as far as I can tell. I now tried all three ports and exactly same results. Can it be something in the kernel? Or maybe UDEV configuration (which I guess should come at a later stage, so it should not be the problem).

Actually I was wrong it was the USB somehow, also the mouse stopped working.. After a kernel update and reboot now everything seems to work, not sure what happened though, which is a bit annoying.

From my experience, when one or more usb ports fail fuctioning correctly, the motherboard is going to die :/
