Kimsufi L. Installing additional HDD for Ubuntu

[UncleBob]

Hi,

I have a Kimsufi L box and ordered 500GB USB drive, that is supposed to be installed already.

I'm following this guide to install it: http://help.ovh.co.uk/usbdisk

But when I run

sfdisk -l

I cannot see the /dev/sda



sudo sfdisk -l
[sudo] password for admin:

Disk /dev/hda: 30401 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 0+ 2549 2550- 20482843+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 2550 30335 27786 223191045 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 30336 30400 65 522112+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty


Anyone has problems installing the HDD?

can you see the device with "lsusb"?
Are you sure they installed it?

[UncleBob]

I've got the infor from the reseller that the disk is installed. Opened a support ticket already, but trying to figure out myself...

I've just tried lsusb, but dunno if I'm using it right, I'm not a linux pro :(



sudo lsusb -t
cannot open /proc/bus/usb/devices, No such file or directory (2)

how about:
grep sda /var/log/messages

[UncleBob]

Nothing there...

So it appears there's no drive yet?

PS. I do have 2.6 kernel, which is required (as I read from the faq above)

UPDATE:
Yes, there's most probably no drive installed yet.

I can take 3-5 days.
