> do I need to mount it manually? It can't be mounted because the sbp2 driver fails to establish the connection with the device. You could only mount it if sbp2 successfully logged in and the kernel's scsi and partition subsystems logged some in dmesg drive info (model ID, capacity, cache type, whether partitions were found). But the kernel never gets as far at the moment.
Alas (1.) I have no idea yet what change in the kernel could have caused that regression, (2.) I'm afraid there is no further workaround that could be tried short of modifying the kernel. >> External firewire HD (WD 5000 - 1 TB) ... > Model number is WD5000D032 Hmm, several web pages which I found for this model number list 500 GB drives, which makes some sense.
