external drive and CentOS - Reset high speed USB device number
- by Phil
I have 2 external drives (3TB) and both will not work with my centOS Box. Tested them in windows ( different machine ) No problems ( 2.6.32-279.9.1.el6.i686 )
dmesg reports:
usb 2-2: new high speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd
usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=2109, idProduct=0700
usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

Tyring to use cfdisk / fdisk / gdisk or even fdisk -l results in the program hanging and dmesg reports:
usb 2-2: reset high speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd
usb 2-2: reset high speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd

I have the same 2 drives physically installed in the computer via SATA
Any Ideas?
