[SOLVED] Portable HDD with Powered HUB

[zilexa]

Having the same issue with a ADATA usb drive, 1 NTFS partition. fdisk does not recognize the drive.
This is the harddisk: Adata CH11. And its connected to this HUB, from ModMyPi.


Only the RPi and the USB disk are connected to the hub. dmesg shows a mass storage USB drive is detected, but nothing else and sudo lsusb shows 3 devices, although none of them have a name I recognize as the hdd:

dmesg

Terminal

xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo lsusb
