@ECarterYoung The output is squashfs 26695 1

Post the output of sudo lsmod | grep hfs I have a hunch that the newer Debian based kernels are compiled w/o hfs filesystem support

| Aug 22, 2014 at 19:56 | comment | added | slm♦ | If it's working on 2 computers, then I'd agree it's likely not the cable or the HDD, but the OS. Just crossing possibilities off the list. As to why I would probably get a liveCD and boot one of the systems with that to confirm. I would expect Knoppix or an Ubuntu LiveCD would be able to see it. | |
| Aug 22, 2014 at 19:04 | comment | added | user2747949 | @slm The HDD works on Windows too; I have power cycled the machines many times but I didn't swap out the cable because I don't have another compatible one. However since it works on other OSs I don't think the cable could be the cause. As a last resort, I may contact Western Digital and ask for a replacement, but the HDD is out of warranty by now so I'll probably have to buy a new one. The problem is that I don't even know if it's just a problem about it. | |
| Aug 22, 2014 at 18:29 | comment | added | slm♦ | @user2747949 - if that's the case then it's either a recent update to the OS'es or something about the HDD. To split the tie, does the HDD work in anything other than the OSX box? Also I assume you've swapped out the cable and power cycled the Linux boxes in your tests? | |
| Aug 22, 2014 at 18:16 | comment | added | user2747949 | @slm I understand what you mean, but I'm afraid it can't be like that. I've always used that hard drive with both the Debian PC and the Raspberry Pi without any problem, so why would it give problems now if it's a BIOS issue? | |

| Aug 22, 2014 at 17:32 | comment | added | slm♦ | With little messaging to go on it's likely an issue b/w your system's BIOS + the USB HDD. The device isn't showing up to the kernel in any meaningful way. it's not really the kernel's issue. I have many devices around the house that just don't work under Linux but work perfectly fine with Windows + OSX. | |

| Aug 22, 2014 at 17:24 | comment | added | user2747949 | @derobert yes, I get the same messages. And no, the drive is not password protected. | |
| Aug 22, 2014 at 17:20 | comment | added | derobert | Also, does this drive have a password enabled on it with the WD utility? | |
| Aug 22, 2014 at 17:18 | comment | added | derobert | Do you get the same messages in your Debian PC's kernel log as you do on the RPi? | |

When you plug it in, what are the lines added to /var/log/kern.log (or to dmesg)?
