Hi all, This is on a testing machine What happened is I bought a 2 TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim couple of days ago. The system is an old system having few USB 2 ports while the HDD is USB 3 but supposedly backward compatible. I can see the HDD via lsusb and fdisk but for some reason it's unable to automount it. Any ideas what could be the issue ?
Sharing what I saw :- $ lsusb Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0bc2:ab24 Seagate RSS LLC Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c05a Logitech, Inc. M90/M100 Optical Mouse Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub As can be seen there are few USB 1.1 ports and few 2.0 ports. As can be seen Seagate attaches and declares itself at Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0bc2:ab24 . I also checked via fdisk -l and got the following :- $ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xc5f7c5f7 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 63 102398309 102398247 48.8G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda2 102398371 1953523711 1851125341 882.7G f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 102398373 204796619 102398247 48.8G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda6 * 204797952 595421183 390623232 186.3G 83 Linux /dev/sda7 595423232 790732799 195309568 93.1G 83 Linux /dev/sda8 790734848 1943076863 1152342016 549.5G 83 Linux /dev/sda9 1943078912 1953523711 10444800 5G 82 Linux swap / Solaris Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.

Then why it is that the disk does not automount ? I have Seagate Expansion disks and they mount under nautilus or any other file storage viewer but not this. Looking forward to know what could possibly be the reason and if it's not related to the kernel guide me to the proper package for the same.
