I'm using Xbian 1.0 Alpha 5 connected through HDMI, ethernet and a Rosewill powered USB Hub.

I'm having a problem with a portable HDD not being recognized under xbian. I'm connecting the drive through a powered usb hub. The portable HDD is NTFS however I've also tried formatting it in Ext4 but it won't recognize it either.

The drive works excellent in my linux and windows computer and it even works flawlessly in the same raspberry pi but using raspbian wheezy and also worked using Xbian Alpha 4.

The drive appears when I do a "lsusb" but is nowhere mounted.

What other information should I provide?

I'm having an identical issue. Same hub, Xbian version, etc, fdisk -l recognizes the drive but it is inaccessible. When I plug in the hard drive directly rather than using the hub, it works fine. I'd like to use the hub though. I commented out the recommended lines to no avail. Any ideas?
