I tend to think the drive caused udev to lose its mind, but thats just a SWAG at this point as I have not powered down and attached the drive to another pair of currently unused cables hanging out that would be sata-4. 5 is indeed a dvd writer If I properly recall which cable is plugged in where. From what I am seeing, the cables could be swapped and I don't recall doing it. Short term memory would be to blame in that case, I'll need to get out a flashlight and verify in any event since I don't trust my memory of something 3+ years old anyway. > If you get no more lines like the ones below, (ata/sd) then it would > seem it hasn't recognised what's on the new disk. > > If it's straight from the blister pack, what might you find on it? > (All the naked drives I've acquired have been second-hand.) Big disks > I've bought recently have NTFS filesystems on them. Generally, I would assume it has an NTFS on it, and that is an option rarely enabled in one of my home-brew kernels. This one however is a Wheezy supplied kernel. A quick lsmod does not disclose any NTFS stuff loaded after the log explosion. I think I'll burn that cd of the seagate dos utils and see what it says, which will entail a power down reboot if I put it on the spare cables, or something along those lines that will force me to do a P.D. reboot. Uptime is currently about 12 days. And we have at least 10 days before Jessie is declared, so I haven't been in a life or death hurry. Since I woke up this morning, which is a good sign at my age, I'll put that off a few hours. ;-) [...] > > Cheers, > David. Thanks David.
