Hi all!
I'm trying to use an external HDD using his interface, system doesn't seem to notice it, since this drive is detected by my home NAS without any issue.
Code:
# lspci -vvv | grep -i 'sata'
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset 6 port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 05) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0])
Capabilities: [a8] SATA HBA v1.0 BAR4 Offset=00000004
Code:
# rescan-scsi-bus.sh

Is the eSATA port maybe controlled by another chip? In the BIOS options it's activated, by the way.
I guess it depends on a missing kernel module.
And yes, that's an external 3.5" HDD, power is provided, as a blue LED confirms.
Thanks in advance!
The superuser can alter the permissions to permit access to normal users, but the more fundamental problem I don't know how to solve. IIRC, udisks should be finding the newly connected disk automatically. Partprobe also might be able to wake up the new connection. What might really solve the problem would be to go ahead and upgrade to 15.1 if you're still using 15.0. Support for 15.0 ended last month. I'm a regular user of zypper dup for openSUSE upgrades, which work very well for me. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade
