Hi,
I have two USB docks that take SATA HDD's.
When I insert my 750GB HDD into the first dock and fdisk/mkfs.ext2 it all works.
Then if I unplug and put in my 2nd dock I get
Code:
[ 1883.308674] VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev sdb1.
Here is the fdisk view on the working dock:
Code:
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdb: 750.2 GB, 750156374016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 91201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x6b7e8770
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 91201 732572001 83 Linux
Command (m for help): q
And here is the fdisk view on the 2nd non-working dock
Code:
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdb: 750.2 GB, 750156374016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 11400 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 4096 = 65802240 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x6b7e8770

/dev/sdb1 1 91201 1565608712 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Command (m for help): q
The docks are the same brand (different models) only plugged into different USB 2.0 ports on the front. Both docks are known to be working.
Is there something kernel related here happening?
One more thing, on the non-working dock it shows in dmesg
Code:

but when plugging in on the original formatted dock it shows
