Plugged in USB-Harddisk gives me no device on proxmox host

[docbrown]

Hi!

I'm trying to connect a Western Digital 1,5 TB USB HDD to my proxmox host to organize some backups. Unfortunately the device won't be recognized completely and correctly. Proxmox gives me no device for the new USB HDD.

2.6.35-1-pve / udevd 125

1. dmesg tells me this (and nothing more):

usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4

2. output of lsusb:

3. devices:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  10 18. Aug 2011  pci-0000:01:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part2 -> ../../sda2

No idea what's going on. Someone else maybe?

Thx.

No idea? Is anybody using a USB harddisk directly on the proxmox host system? It seems that other USB hardisks (other than my WD 1,5 TB) are recognized correctly.
