So, my USB disk was working swimmingly as I was getting my backup protocol setup, and then the hard disk crashed violently.
Now, the device (and disk) are recognized properly
| Code: | usb 3-1.1: new high speed USB device using address 4
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: Maxtor 6 Model: E040L0 Rev: NAR6
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0
USB Mass Storage device found at 4
usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage
USB Mass Storage support registered.
SCSI device sda: 80293249 512-byte hdwr sectors (41110 MB)
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0: |
but the kernel can't bind the device: "parted /dev/sda" and "fdisk /dev/sda" hang, so I can't redo the disk. Any ideas?
I will test with a friend's hard disk later today.

It was the enclosure -- piece of crap because it broke, and also its design (BYTECC 3.5" USB 2.0/ IEEE1394 External Enclosure, Model "ME-720U2F").
