Turns out that after performing this[1] procedure, the drive is recognized correctly by CentOS. Well I learned a little bit more about how udev works at least. :-) Now my lsusb looks like the following: Bus 001 Device 024: ID 059f:0527 LaCie, Ltd Bus 001 Device 016: ID 0451:6250 Texas Instruments, Inc. (One drive I still need to "reset"). Sorry for the noise all. Ray [1] http://www.lacie.com/support/faq/faq.htm?faqid=10285
