asus WL 500gP and Hdd

[slechtic]

Hello, i have hdd with 1 partition and with fat32, when i connect hdd and run telnet, login and run command DF i don't see my hdd in dev/disc etc. Do you know what is the problem? THX

Assuming it's a USB disk what does dmesg tell you after it's been plugged in?

Excuse me for excavating this old thread but I've got the same problem. Just have set up newest Oleg following Wengi's tutorial so that my disc0 is a 4GB Kingston flash-drive - this config is working perfectly. What I'd like to do now is to attach a second drive, 1TB 3,5" Trekstor HDD with one FAT32 formatted partition on it. However after booting WL500GPV2 with both drives connected only /dev/discs/disc0 is there, no disc1 or anything like this so that the Trekstor is not visible/mountable. lsusb shows "new" device, so does dmesg:

I can see the error message in the 4 line from the end of the log - could you please suggest me what I could do?

It seems like it may either have been not cleanly unmounted previously, or you may have better luck with an ext2/ext3 filesystem.

Thanks for help! My problem was actually easy to resolve - Trekstor's electronics makes it spin down once it's disconnected from usb (even though it still is connected to wall outlet) and somehow the drive didn't spin up hooked up to the router. After a reset and reconnecting the usb cable the hdd woke up so now it's up and running.
