Could you check 'sudo dmesg' on the AppVM? If you see something like
'/dev/xvdi1' you could try mounting it with:
'sudo mount /dev/xvdi1 /some/place'

Yes, i just double checked and they are installed on the appvm (I even 
tried to reinstall them). still no luck.

Thanks though.

It's notable that you dont say what you are doing and what does happen
(if anything). Any chance of a little more information?


oops, i replied only to unman by accident.

I am hoping to copy things from the external usb hard drive (sata drive 
in a usb dock).


When i connect my external usb drive to the computer i get the popup 
that its recognized, both sdc and sdc1.


When i attach it via qubes devices it doesnt say or give any errors.

When i try to access it on the appvm that i connect it to it does not 
show up in nautilus like say my flash usb devices, nor does it show as 
being mounted when i check for mounted devs via the terminal


yet.

On dom0 i can see the drive, i can access the drive, and modify the 
contents but of course this is not a good idea.


I have not tried qvm-usb, qvm-device, or qvm-block as i am not familar 
with them but at this point am open to trying them (any docs on how to 
use them?)




should it make a difference if the external hard drive is formatted in NTFS?

I tried putting it on another qubes computer that i have (v4.0.1), that 
does have a sys-usb, and my sys-usb can access it, but, as with my 
notebook I cant mount it in a regular appvm?


In this case, i plug it in, i get a popup indicating its detected, i 
then take a look at it via sys-usb, can access the contents, then go to 
qubes devices click the appvm to attach it to and nothing.


in dom0 i do qvm-usb list sys-usb and it shows me everything except the 
hard drive, that i know is attached because I am looking at its contents 
in sys-usb. I really dont know what to make of this. is there like a 
drive size limit? (this is a 6tb drive)

Without sys-usb, you may need to overtly assign the device the usb controller 
is on to a VM.
