No External hard drive in Cubox (Armada)

[skelosParticipant]

Hello,
I plug a USB external drive in Original cubox (armada). This hard drive is rewcognized and works fine in a windows PC.
So, in cubox I expecting working too.. but it is not mounted.

This is the ouuout of lsusb:

root(at)geexbox:/dev# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04e8:6123 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

The disk is the first one, Samsung.

but /mnt folser is empty (also /media folder yet).

So, I see in dmesg:

root(at)geexbox:/media# dmesg | grep usb
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new interface driver hub
usbcore: registered new device driver usb
usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_wdm
usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
usbcore: registered new interface driver synaptics_usb
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid
usbhid: USB HID core driver
usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using orion-ehci

usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 2
usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using orion-ehci
scsi2 : usb-storage 2-1:1.0
usbcore: registered new interface driver uas

is not what I expecting…

Also, this are /dev contents:

No, USB drive found… in this list I recognize only mmcblk0/mmcblk0p1 and sda/sda1, not external drive.

Fuse is installed :`
root(at)geexbox:/dev# opkg install fuse
Package fuse (2.9.4-2) installed in root is up to date.`

I need to install other package?

Could you help me ?

[tomlohaveKeymaster]

Is it a key or a disk ?
if it’s a disk, did you attach an external power supply ? (or an usb hub with external power supply)

[Warped RudiKeymaster]

No, USB drive found… in this list I recognize only mmcblk0/mmcblk0p1 and sda/sda1, not external drive.

I would think that sda is your external drive. I don’t know why it is not mounted automatically. What happens if you try to mount /dev/sda1 manually? Does it auto-mount on your CuBox-i? What’s the volume label of the partition?

[skelosParticipant]

I think Rudi guessed!
This is the result I got mounting manually:

root@geexbox:/dev# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/
mount: unknown filesystem type ‘exfat’

Now the questions:
Could I read exfat in Geexbox?
If not, I can convert filesystem type to someone readable from geexbox?

[tomlohaveKeymaster]

Sure,
opkg install fuse-exfat

then reboot

Package installation was good.
Mounting manually it reply:

root@geexbox:/mnt# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/
FUSE exfat 1.0.0
WARN: volume was not unmounted cleanly.

It appears to be mounted fine. I see disk on /media folder.
