Seagate Freeagent drive
Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2014 11:57 am
Hi all, I have a 750gb Seagate FreeAgent USB drive which is formatted as ext4, when I plug it into any of my Linux boxes it either automounts or shows up in /dev as /dev/sdb or similar, BUT ! when I plug it in to my Raspberry Pi ( I plug it in before I boot it ) it shows up in /dev/ as /dev/sda but there are no /dev/sda1 or sda2 entries so obviously I can't mount it - any ideas ? the drive has about 200gb of flac files on it which I want to share using the Pi. TIA
I get this from dmesg
