Unable to mount USB drive in 12.2

I have narrowed this down to a slackware issue and not hardware because I can read the drive under another OS on the same hardware. I have a 120G laptop drive in a USB enclosure which works fine on my old laptop. I copied my home folder from my old laptop to it and then plugged into the new one and get this:

Code:

sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x0 [current]
sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0
sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x0 [current]
sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0
sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x0 [current]
sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0
sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x0 [current]
sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0
sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x0 [current]
sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0

and it just keeps repeating. I can plug the drive back in the old laptop and it works fine.
Am I missing something in 12.2? The old laptop is 12.0 and I was able to see it and mount it fine.

Make sure your user is in the "plugdev" group.

I have similar device. After plugging it displays information:

Code:

Then it starts to display endlessly:

Code:

   : Sense Key : 0x0 [current] 
   : ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0

   : Sense Key : 0x0 [current] 
   : ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0
sd 4:0:0:0: ioctl_internal_command return code = 8000002
   : Sense Key : 0x0 [current] 
   : ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0
sd 4:0:0:0: ioctl_internal_command return code = 8000002
   : Sense Key : 0x0 [current] 
   : ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0
sd 4:0:0:0: ioctl_internal_command return code = 8000002
   : Sense Key : 0x0 [current] 
   : ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0
sd 4:0:0:0: ioctl_internal_command return code = 8000002
   : Sense Key : 0x0 [current] 
   : ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0
sd 4:0:0:0: ioctl_internal_command return code = 8000002
   : Sense Key : 0x0 [current] 
   : ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0

Despite of it I can mount, read, and write that device.

Maybe your case is similar. Try to mount /dev/sdb1 device.

Mine never makes an sbd# device to mount. fdisk -l only sees sda the internal SATA drive in the laptop.

I went and bought a new usb case and put the drive in it and it works fine. Strange thing is the old usb case works fine in the older laptops,must be some sort of compatibility/interpretation of the usb standard.
