Forum - usb drive not found

Hi

I have a xtreamer pro media center. That thing can be used as a mass storage if I connect it with an usb cable to my ubuntu laptop.
but when I connect it the same way to my XBian raspberry pi, it doesn't show up, at all.

fdisk -l shows only my sd card
lsusb either
And I see nothing in /dev that could point to my hdd.

the xtreamer has its own AC power so it doesn't use the usb cable to get powered.

I cannot find a way to mount it.

thanks for your reading.

Can you show us the output of lsusb and mount when you connect your mediatank to your ubuntu laptop?
Whaty filesystem is used on you mediatank? NTFS?

What release of Xbian are you using? If Beta 1.1 I suggest upgrading or doing a fresh install of Beta 2.

If Beta 1.1 check that dbus is running in xbian-config.

hi,

here you have

Terminal

yull@xbian ~ $ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9512 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp.

Terminal

yull@xbian ~ $ mount
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on / type btrfs (rw,relatime,compress=lzo,ssd,space_cache,autodefrag)
devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=127000k,nr_inodes=31750,mode=755)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,mode=600)
none on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
none on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,size=25416k)
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /boot type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /home type btrfs (rw,noatime,compress=lzo,ssd,space_cache,autodefrag)
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /lib/modules type btrfs (rw,noatime,compress=lzo,ssd,space_cache,autodefrag)
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /xbmc-backup type btrfs (rw,noatime,compress=lzo,ssd,space_cache,autodefrag)

Now, on a second reading (and with a lot more coffee in my veins), I see that the lsusb -> device 001 shows me a root hub. Could it be possible that that is my xtreamer? Because I can put two hard drives into the xtreamer pro, so maybe the usb connection "takes it" as a hub.

best regards

this is what I get when I log in with ssh. I guess it is a beta2 one.
