hi guys,

I have a USB 500GB External drive. formatted it under Ubuntu 13.04 and used EXT4. Made one big partition.

I have connected the USB drive to my HDA, but for some reason it wont detect is.

I followed the wiki:
https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/HowTo_use_USB_disks

but no change.

where should I start looking?

I want to use the external drive to backup files, before I upgrade to AMAHI7

It may require a reboot of the HDA.

Not sure what log it will show up in, but should see in the /dev folder. I had to reboot last time I connected a USB drive.

could it be that auto-detect got disabled?

Possibly.
*shame modus ON*

for some reason the USB got disabled on my headless server in the BIOS?
*shame modus OFF*

how weird is that?

That is odd. So I presume this is resolved.
