Hi thanks for the suggestion but after it pops up and I hit ctrl alt + m only my hard drive partitions are shown...

usb.log shows this:
I: [21:52:09] hub.usbfd | HUB | Device found on port 4 of hub "".
I: [21:52:09] hub.usbfd | Hub port | Device at port 4 of hub "" is high-speed.
I: [21:52:09] USB stack | New Fkt | Fkt 0x53958a00 at level 4

That sounds strange. The massstorage GUI should only show disks (massstorage devices) connected over USB. Your hard drive is not on USB, is it?

BTW, I happen to have a WD My Passport Ultra drive myself, but it's not quite the same as yours, mine has a product ID of 0x0820.

But I can't use that under AmigaOS either.

My popup says that the attached device is a multiclass device (or similar), which is probably the reason, I believe those are not supported (yet?).

Does your attachment popup say something similar?

My log goes on to say (after similar lines to yours):

Code: Select all

I: [19:31:10]        MassStorage Device Task |                    Massstorage | Lun 0 has device type 0x00 (Direct access) and is not removable
I: [19:31:10]        MassStorage Device Task |                    Massstorage | Lun 1 has device type 0x0D (Unknown) and is not removable
E: [19:31:10]        MassStorage Device Task |                    Massstorage | Device type ignored

The massstorage GUI on the current X5000 is different than all other OS4.x hardware in that respect. The last I heard the p5020sata.device isn't done and the X5000 disk system seems like some sort of a workaround to me.

Hi,

It seems that the AmigaOS USB stack or another component can't mount disk partitions over 2TB currently, USB2 or 3 doesn't matter.

For your 1TB disk, if it is empty, try to format it on a OS other than Win10. Some users reports that some of there disks didn't work when they were formated with a win10 machines.

Ah that explains it! I made a mistake with the drive size and on checking it looks like this drive is 3TB not 1TB!

Thanks at least now I know that it *shouldn't* work. Hopefully some bigger drive support will come along in a future update :)

Ah, yes, of course. Sorry, I had forgotten that simulant is on an X5000.
