There is no /dev allocated to the disk drive when plugged into the USB3 board. Typing “dmesg | less” and looking for ‘usb’ shows the following > [ 1.022294] xhci_hcd 0000:08:00.0: hcc params 0x014051c7 hci version 0x100 > quirks 0x00000010 > [ 1.023891] usb usb2: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0002 > [ 1.023895] usb usb2: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=2, > SerialNumber=1 > [ 1.023898] usb usb2: Product: xHCI Host Controller > [ 1.023900] usb usb2: Manufacturer: Linux 4.1.0-1-amd64 xhci-hcd > [ 1.023903] usb usb2: SerialNumber: 0000:08:00.0 > [ 1.024123] hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found > [ 1.024141] hub 2-0:1.0: 4 ports detected > [ 1.024370] xhci_hcd 0000:08:00.0: xHCI Host Controller > [ 1.024376] xhci_hcd 0000:08:00.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus > number 7 > [ 1.025847] usb usb7: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0003 > [ 1.025850] usb usb7: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=2, > SerialNumber=1 > [ 1.025853] usb usb7: Product: xHCI Host Controller > [ 1.025855] usb usb7: Manufacturer: Linux 4.1.0-1-amd64 xhci-hcd > [ 1.025858] usb usb7: SerialNumber: 0000:08:00.0 > [ 1.026035] hub 7-0:1.0: USB hub found > [ 1.026053] hub 7-0:1.0: 4 ports detected This appears to be happening during a reboot.

I’ll plug in a disk and test it next chance I get, if you think it will help. > >>> rbthomas@monk:~$ lspci | grep -i usb > > try 'lspci -v | less' and find your card in there.

Does that help? Rick
