USB drive not seen after first instance on current
by Ressy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5D2DX)
[kinda lengthy post - bit of pasting]
OK, so I have an external TB drive that worked fine under 14, on a headless box (its samba/nfs fileserver) so no X crud.
it gets plugged in once a week to do its stuff for air gapped backups.
If it gets plugged in for first time after a reboot, its fine, it sees it and brings up sdd, allows truecrypt to mount the drive and do its stuff and then dismount, all normal, just like it's done for years (hence why I'm still using truecrypt hehe)

.... but ...
a week later, and it no device found, it goes as far as

Thats it, nothing more happens, if I reboot, as shown first, plug it in it, it's found and associated with sdd right away.
Am I missing something here? Its finished for this week but box not been restarted since, so able to check/test any ideas.
Cheers
(addendum: previously I used a trimmed kernel and used everything that was needed built in, I am at present using -current default huge 32bit kernel - I wont be "trimming" it until 15.0 is formally released, and -current is updated when their is an update)
