[snip] Thanks for your reply! I shown the lines that appeared in system log since the moment I plug the device, there's nothing after (and nothing before that matters, at least WRT to the "plug" event itself). No, the device is not even accessible using /dev/sdXX. Gparted and other tools don't even see it. But my laptop's internal disk and other externals USB (SATA or IDE) disks are accessible. The issue seems focused on that particular external USB disk, and I never get it as /dev/sdXX whatever I plug it directly to one of this laptop's USB ports or to a USB multi-port. The issue is not present with kernel 2.6.32-131.21.1.el6, it's present with updates 2.6.32-220.4.1.el6 and 2.6.32-220.4.2.el6. FYI it's a CentOS6 64bit installed on a DELL Latitude E6500. I tried unplugging all USB storage devices, unloaded usb_storage module, re-loaded it. Plugged in the disk and nothing better. I tried with another laptop (DELL D810) with an up-to-date CentOS6 (32bit) installed on it: same behaviour, the disk is not accessible w/ latest kernel but is accessible w/ 2.6.32-131.
