Can't mount external HD

Postby haiku » Mon Aug 18, 2014 3:12 pm

Hello,
I am trying in vain to mount my usb (3) external drive on my Raspberry. I first thought it was a power issue but it does show/mount on my pogo mobile :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@minibox ~]# lsusb

')
I can mount another old drive (USB2, externally powered). But this 1TB won't return anything in Dmesg , nor lsusb. Any idea ? :?

Can still be a power issue, seeing as the Pi doesn't have the power output capability of the V4/Mobile

Does the power issue apply for the B+ ?

Does it magically support a real power supply?

No but the B+ is suppose to : "Improved Power Management: Manage More Devices from Your Pi!"
I'll try another power supply, in case mine wasn't good enough :|
Thanks
