I agree that the problem is hardware related, but I cannot see any indication that the drive / controller is malfunctioning. Remember that I have just run the gparted live-cd (Debian) against the drive for hours rearranging the "deck chairs". NixOS is the only distro I have tried that is malfunctioning in this area.
I suspect that this is an "enumeration" (is that a general or Windows-specific term?) problem which is unique to whatever approach the NixOS packagers have selected to use. If so, the question is how to identify it. On 2014-11-03 10:13, Wout Mertens wrote: > So did you try switching/reseating the cable? Perhaps put the drive on > a different port?
