Udev not assigning device node to external HDD
Well the device is being recognized, but no device node is given. It's a brand new Seagate 1.5 TB right out of the box. Plugged into the rear mobo USB 2.0 slot. My log reads

Re: Udev not assigning device node to external HDD
From that output sda looks like an internal drive sdi is your usb 1.5 TB drive.

Are you sure you are not getting your drives mixed up?
Not sure why it has 4 partitions though. That is weird. Unless you have partitioned it yourself.

sda are my devices, dvd and stuff. sdi is a 3x500gb raid 0 array internal. it's 4 partitions are for boot, /, swap, and home. i'm not sure why it says sdi at the end. unless sdi is the node of the external and sdi1 sdi2 sdi3 sdi4 are the partitions of my array. but i'm pretty sure sdi without a number is where i have installed grub.

Re: Udev not assigning device node to external HDD
well here is something weird. the drive shows up in pcmanfm now, i think. when i plug the hdd in and then boot up, a 94.5gb, 1.3tb, and 7.6gb disks show up. what's weird is that these sizes are all the sizes of my internal partitions. in fact they are my internal partitions. but they don't show up in pcmanfm until i plug in the external hdd. i'm under a user account, not root.
