With your external drive plugged in, is it seen if you type with root permissions:
fdisk -l
… but having typed that, with this lsusb output that you posted :
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:2b17 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 1020
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 045e:0040 Microsoft Corp. Wheel Mouse Optical

it makes me think it will not be seen by the fdisk command (as I do not see the 0bc2:2330 code in that lsusb output).
Was the external drive plugged in and switched ON when you sent the ‘lsusb’ command ?
Before plugging in the external drive (after switching it on) how long did you wait. On my 1.5 TB external drives, I need to wait about 10 seconds for the drives to spin up before I plug them in.
Another possibility is that there is an inconsistency (I am unsure of correct terminology) on the NTFS external drive and you need to run a chkdsk on it : CHKDSK - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The ntfs-3g fuse application can have difficulty with drives that are in such an uncorrected state. Typically in such a case it will be mounted as ‘read only’ … but I have seen cases where it will not mount at all. Although having typed that, typically the ‘lsusb’ command will show the drive.
I did a Google search on the 0bc2:2330 code of the drive, but the only GNU/Linux hits I came up with where this openSUSE thread.
Its possible udev tuning is needed to make the drive visible, and if that is the case then that likely exceeds my knowledge. In such a case if no one else on the forum can provide guidance, you could write a bug report on openSUSE not recognizing / mounting the drive. That will bring this to the attention of the SuSE-GmbH packagers , who have more detailed knowledge here and they may be able to provide the necessary edits to your GNU/Linux PC’s configuration files. The advantage of a bug report is other GNU/Lniux distributions will also benefit if the SuSE-GmbH packagers find a fix, as they are fairly good at sending their fixes upstream.
I have read for other GNU/Linux distributions, of cases where the external drive did not show up with ‘lsusb’.
In one case the ‘usb_storage’ kernel module was not loaded. What was done successfully in one such case, was to unconnect the externel drive. Then with root permissions send the command:
modprobe usb_storage
and then switch on the drive and reconnect the external drive. My suspicion is that will not work, but you could try it.
Why do you say “but” ??? < puzzled > … Hey, I can’t see your PC. Nor can I type the commands on it. So I can only ask ? What YOU have me do ? Completely ignore the possibility and not suggest the possibility ?? < puzzled >
Raise the bug report on the ‘kernel’ in openSUSE-12.3.
Boot your PC, plug in the USB drive, then copy the entire output of the ‘dmesg’ into a text file and copy that text file to the bug report. Also include the output of lsusb in the bug report. Also note in the bug report that your fstab correctly makes no mention of the external USB drive.
You can use your openSUSE forum user name and password when logging in to the openSUSE bugzilla.
oldcpu, I think that there is a misunderstanding! The but is not supposed to be an objection, rather, I was trying to point out that all the other usb “products” function fine and therefore trying to ask how it will make a difference? I am not against your suggestion just trying to obtain some clarification!
Thanks for the explanation regards the bug report!

What other USB devices are you talking about here?
Is the usb_storage module loaded already? (run “lsmod | grep usb_storage”
to find out)
What’s the model on the drive that’s not working?
From the lsusb output, it seems it’s not there, and from the dmesg
output, it looks like it’s being disconnected for some reason. Like
oldcpu, I don’t know that making sure the module is loaded first will
prevent that, but it couldn’t hurt to try.

One appears to be a printer. The either appears to be a a mouse. Neither is a usb_storage device. There kernel model noted in the reference I quoted was for usb_storage devices.
Now if you are also plugging in other USB storage devices and they are working fine, then that is valuable information to post.
If you type:
lsmod | grep storage
and it lists ‘usb_storage’ kernel module then there is no need to try the ‘modprobe usb_storage’.

Your best efforts may be best spent either on a bug report, or following up any custom udev tuning leads that may be passed your way.
