Hi,
I seem to have lost an external USB drive I've been using on my
MythTV backend server for video storage. What commands can I try to
get it to wake up or at least show me what's working and what isn't?
The drive shows under fdisk /dev/sda...
I hate to be the party poop, but I suspect disk hardware failure.
Can you use dd to read the raw disk? e.g.
# dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/ddout bs=512 count=1024(or whatever)
