[SOLVED] External USB drive not detected under mOode 6.4.0

[Smallwire]

For a start, with your USB drive plugged in, reboot then post the output from the commands below.

Code:

lsusb

ls -l /media

Hi Tim,

This is the output that I get after issuing those commands:

Code:

$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0480:0202 Toshiba America Inc 
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514 Fast Ethernet Adapter
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMC9514 Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

$ ls -l /media
total 0

I can see the external drive through the command (Toshiba) but it is not detected on the mOode UI.

The empty /media directory indicates the drive was not auto-mounted by udisks-glue.

Couple thoughts:

- udisks-glue does not run on arm6 platforms (Pi-Zero, 1B). You can switch to devmon auto-mounter in System Config
- the drive needs to have a disk label to be auto-mounted
- some drives need to be externally powered

I see, thanks for your reply. You're right, I do not see the drive under /media.

In response to your thoughts:
- So, I've tried Devmon today, and that still did not work. 
- I also gave it a disk label via ntfslabel on my computer (since it is an NTFS drive). Even after doing that, I couldn't get it to show up on my Pi under /media, or even looking at /dev/disk/by-label (and the other options)...
- My drive should be an internally powered drive. 

I also tried looking at the mpd logs (/var/logs/mpd/log) and system logs (/var/logs/syslog), but didn't really see anything pertaining to my drive there either. Though, the system log did mention that my "Toshiba" drive was detected but nothing more. 

Is it the case that I simply cannot listen to the music through an external source on this version, then? Is there some sort of manual mounting procedure or something?
