Hi there
I followed all the steps explained in openWrt website in order to connect usb devices.
I successfully attached and mounted two usb flash drives.
I have 4 usb hard drives:
1 - 3.5" with obviously its own power supply
3 - 2.5" connected with a dual power cable (data plug to router - power plug to pc - data plug(other end) to HDD)
They all won't attach, only "sda" appears in "/dev" (no "sda1").
Always the same "dmesg":

Use a powered hub for your HDDs.

Thanks @tmo26, but no luck.
I get the same dmesg.
As you suggested I've connected them (one at a time) through an usb hub powerd with 5v 500mA.
Let suppose that the router doesn't provide a minimum of 5v 500mA, meaning breaking the standard, yet the 3.5" is powered by 12v 2A which should be what it needs to be fully operative.
We add the usb powered hub on top of that, there are no more excuses for it to not work.

Hello claudio,

are the HDDs MBR or GPT partitioned? AFAIK OpenWRT doesn't support GPT partitioned HDDs (but i might be wrong).

And the USB-hub with 500mA is not sufficient to power an 2.5" HDD. Use a hub with at least 1Amp (had the same Problem on a Desktop PC with HDDs and USB ODDs. Working with an 2Amp powered hub solved the issue).

Hi @Napsi-GER-
all my drives have MBR partition tables.
I was following your advices and browsing power set for sata drives, which they all seem to provide 5v 1.5A for 2.5" and 12v 1.5A for 3.5".
I then had a look at my 3.5" drive and found out that is already fed by 12v 2A; if this doesn't work I don't see the point of buying the same power supply for the 2.5".
Right now the 2.5" are fed by
- 500mA from USB power cable plugged to pc
- 500mA from USB hub
- 500mA from router (supposingly)
Total 1.5A, as the power set I was about to buy.
Also we all know that a pc can feed a 2.5" with one USB port only, then I assume that from the power cable is coming out way more than 500mA.
Maybe you guys implied that only a powered USB hub will do the job?

Hello claudio,

could you please tell us what hardware/device you use?

And lets only focus on the 3.5" HDD with its external power supply, to exclude any power problems.
Can you provide a log of

lsmod

then connect the 3.5" HDD, wait a little, then provide the log of

logread

and full log of

dmesg

Anything in that could be helpful (except MAC-Addresses, you can ...:XX:XX them if you want ).

Normally this should work at first try and without the need for an external hub.

FYI:
With "had the same Problem on a Desktop PC with HDDs and USB ODDs" I meant, that i did the same as you: Powering the HDDs from a PC AND the router simultaneously (Data connection to the Router). But some kind of voodoo made it impossible for me to get a connection. But switching to a powered hub solved that for me.

2.5" HDDs are breaking the standard by providing an Y-cable (1 Power+1Data and Power -> 1Data and Power). But they need it for the high spinup currents (sometimes >1A, at least for mine). But that's not the main topic here.

Don't assume, when you can know. USB power meters are out there for cheap (€2,50...5 -> aliexpress). Search for the ones with OLED.

Yes exactly
maybe I haven't been clear, the right name for it should be "Dual USB Power Cable"
This cable has 3 USB ends: 2 for data and 1 for power supply
- power-end to pc
- data-end-1 to HDD
- data-end-2 to USB hub
then
- USB hub to router

What happens if you do the wiring **correctly**, i.e.:

1) Connect the sufficiently powered USB hub to the router. Power supply of the hub should be adequate to feed your 2,5" HDDs. 5V 500mA are not.
2) Plug in the Y-Cable into the hub and your HDD, according to HDD vendor's instructions.
3) Report back.

Your wiring: Router----- HDD----Y-Cable----Hub+PC
Correct way: Router ---- powered Hub ---- Y-cable ---- HDD

That's a good point @tmo26
I probably cannot just plug USBs wherever pleases me.
I will definitely invest in a good USB hub or, even better, a SATA power supply.
I'll do that only if I get things working, because still we haven't found the reason why I cannot connect the 3.5" self-powered HDD.
Any idea?

I have had more power issues over the years than I can count with hubs and under powered devices.

You have a power issue and an operational issue. Separate them completely.

Not sure you have this right

This cable has 3 USB ends: 2 for data and 1 for power supply
- power-end to pc
- data-end-1 to HDD
- data-end-2 to USB hub

The bottom of the Y is data and power and goes to your Powered Hub. Then connect the appropriate TOP of the Y to your drive. One Y cable per drive, as the port may be power limited. Try to have a power supply with MORE power than the number of drives *500 plugged into the wall. The drives will draw peak current at start up, so have a 2Amp PS for 3 drives just to be safe.
Get a 2.5A 12v for the 3" I have a WD that says 2A and will not run right unless it gets 2.5A. Sometimes it works on some PCS, some times I get power or speed warnings.
Test that each drive will pass data to a PC

You can also try adding the drives to the hub 1 at a time and see at what point things break. It could be one tired drive trying to suck too much power crashing everything.

And @tmo26 is very right, meters are your friend in this exercise.

a question if I may, your issue is with the initial connect or with reconnections?

Really. And they are cheap.

Search Aliexpress for "USB OLED" (yes, that's enough :)
There are 3digit (=2 decimals) and 4digit (=3 decimals) models out there. You want 4 digits.

Ok I got it @tmo26 and @RangerZ, we are wandering in the dark here.
An USB power meter is on its way, and I found it to be a pretty cool and very useful tool too!
Thanks for the advice, it was just hard for me to figure that out because my whole life I've been connecting USBs only to pc and never had this type of issues.

@tmo26 and @RangerZ, you made clear how the Y cable has to be plugged in, cheers for that!
Very valuable infos @RangerZ about power management!

Answering to @daggs:
Not sure what you mean but I never managed to have any HDD ever working in the router, not once, not yet.

I'll report back in a few days, once I get the USB power meter.
In the meantime I have a question, may seems obvious, but still I have to ask:
Is it the same to power an HHD with USB hub or SATA Power Supply (as long as the (overall)power is right)?

3.5 in drives in enclosures have 12V power supplies (and again I find may not work on less then 2.5amps reliably)
3.5 in bare SATA drives need both 5 and 12 volts (and technically 3.3V) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA
2.5" USB drives get their power and data from a single input. Basic USB 2.0 is 5V, 500mAh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Power) so I am not clear on how you can use a SATA Power Supply (Not reall clear what this is actually) to run a 2.5 in, as a straight power supply does not have the data. Note the pic of the 3.0 cable is different as it allows the aggregation of 2 500mAh outputs to meet the 900 mAh USB 3.0 requirement.

from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_AT … connectors

The new SATA power connector contains many more pins for several reasons:
3.3 V is supplied along with the traditional 5 V and 12 V supplies. However, very few drives actually use it, so they may be powered from an old 4-pin Molex connector with an adapter.

Now I understand.

I actually do have one with this power supply (2A) http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=spp … mfe=search but mine says fineness power as the brand. The whole product was this by Rosewill. http://www.rosewill.com/products/903/Pr … 064c70.jpg It has a power switch on the DC side.

It does run bare 3.5 in drives. External devices need to generate the 5V and run the little LED etc. ??

Sorry for the delay guys, life pushes around, sometimes...

I've finally tested with the power meter my usb Hitachi 3.5" self powered HDD
I can now confirm that it uses 0(zero)mA, with sporadic spikes of 1mA
The same applies when it is connected to my pc, with the only difference that it does work!

No doubt that the power meter is in working order, as the following are the results on other devices:

working with OpenWrt:
Kingston DataTraveler flash drive, FAT formatted: 33mA
Ut165 flash drive, ext4 formatted: 45mA

not working with OpenWrt:
2.5" usb HDD: 270mA (a short peak of 800mA at startup!)

At this point I think that the power problem can be excluded

Looking up for lines like the one appearing in my 'dmesg'

reset high-speed USB device number 7 using ifxusb_hcd

is bringing up many other routers like my 'Netgear DGN3500'
Someone seems to suggest to downgrade to BB in order to solve the issue

Well hello again, claudio.

I've read through your logs again, thought about your further investigations and have come to realize:
I have no idea what is going wrong in OpenWrt.
But i have one more idea to test:

Test, if a working usb thumb drive (as you mentioned above) works also with a usb extension cord connected inbetween. My guess is, that the length of the wire is causing (electrical) problems. So connecting a extension cord with the same length as the ones from the hdds might cause the device to fail. If this happens, please provide the logreads with and without extension cord.

PS: If this won't lead us to a solution, i guess you are out of luck with that particular version of OpenWrt (source).
But you could still try to upgrade to trunk, or switch to LEDE, which is basically OpenWrt and will be re-merged into OpenWrt. Chances are high, that your problem is fixed in recent stable releases of LEDE.
Good luck.

Nice to have you still around @Napsi-GER-, after so long time !
I already thought of that and I did try to use several other shorter cables.
Still I didn't consider the cable presence itself as a possible issue, as you are suggesting.
Well, I've done my Worst! :
I joined 3 cheap extension cords for a total length of 1.2 meters
result:
Both thumb drives work like a charm

Luck definitely hasn't been on my side
Usb Video and Audio are also not working
USB Video & Audio fail: isochronous transfer not supported!!!
The cool possibility of sticking in a router's usb port anything I fancy is what drew me here, all I got working is a thumb drive.

Switching to LEDE is a good advice, unfortunately I won't have the time to try that any time soon.
Flashing the trunk will be the other option and I'd be grateful if you could explain how I can find it for my device.
Cheers

The discussion might have continued from here.
