Hey,
I’ve been running official armbian for a while and had an issue with my usb3.0 external drive not mounting on boot. it mounts only if I connect it post boot…
I recently tried the official raxada debian and it has the same issue as well!
my external drive has an external power source
I’ve also read somewhere that this happens to other users as well.
Best,
Ori
Can you post dmesg | grep usb and lsusb ？

this is after I disconnect and reconnect my usb3.0 hdd
Could the OTG switch be enabled to device (or host)? Perhaps that would affect the detection of the hard drive on boot. Try the switch and see or try another port.
Another possibility, something to do with the device not powering up at the boot up of the RockPi. Maybe try unplugging the power from the hard drive, plugging it in then immediately booting the RockPi.
And then you could look at resetting the USB bus:
Works on USB2.0, changing USB3 mode doesn’t have any effect. resetting device from the command line doesn’t have any effect.
since the device is powered via external power source the rockpi doesn’t have any effect, in any case not being able to reset my device remotely with USB3.0 mounting storage is quite a big limitation.
how come am I the only one that uses usb3 storage? everybody bought fancy nvmes…
Hi,
I checked with my LaCie USB 3 2.5" drive and the RockPi 4b lower USB 3 port.

It is detected and is mountable. Obviously your 3.5" is different, perhaps firmware?
@mrsufgi
I’m having the same issue with my RockPi 4B running Armbian from the Armbian website and using a new 2 TB 2.5" Seagate Barracuda Mobile disk with a USB3 adapter. It is USB-powered. As far as I can see, the power spec of the USB3 ports is sufficient for this setup.
On the lower USB port it was only detected after plugging in, on the upper USB port it is sporadically detected and mounted on boot. Very unreliable.
I just reinstalled armbian for OMV, same.
seanmcavoy what OS? might be firmware but why would it work after a plug it after the system is already running?
Ubuntu with 4.4.154-83-rockchip-00023-gae7a309. If the USB drive goes to sleep and does not wake with the booting of the RockPi the USB bus might not see it.
Plugging it in right on boot might rule that out… Strange a usb bus reset does not cause it to be detected. Maybe try playing with the USB power settings:
For me run 2 HDD and 1 SDD for weeks completely problem-free and absolutely reliable to the USB3 ports. I proved up to 6TB (WD drives) capacities: all are detected.
However, my drives are only recognized when I connect them via a Renkforce docking station. Other adapters did not show the drives under USB3!
Best regards …
if you reset, are they mounted and recognized? what os?
New finding, on boot it hangs until timeout once it gets to the usb3.0 hdds. Also tried orico enclosure with SSD, its even worse. The SSD just stop responding after awhile … meh.
Last weekend, I noticed that Armbian released two sets of new images. One is based on Kernel 4.4, the other on 5.1. Scroll down to the very bottom of the page for the 5.1 version.
I tried both Armbian Stretch versions. I installed the full desktop from armbian-config and - voilà - my 2 TB disk on the lower USB 3 port showed up on the desktop after boot for both versions.
No, still not booting my Lecie hdd
Have you tested other usb3.0 storage device ?
and please post your kernel log.
this is the Lecie hdd device??
I have another one that works, WD Elements.
and yes, 059f:104a LaCie, Ltd is my device.
I have tested our SATA3 device with Sata Hat that powered by external power
https://wiki.radxa.com/Dual_Quad_SATA_HAT
and can’t reproduce this issue.
