dmesg doesn't show HDD information?

Hi,

After a few years, I came back to this again and hope the newer version works for my NAS idea, and it does!! Thanks for your work!

The above photo was connecting the WRT1900AC V2 to my 4-bay eSATA storage (And I used it to install OpenMediaVault), hotplug works, however when I "dmesg" nothing related to storage comes up, I didn't even know the OS detects them or not, why? (But "lsblk" shows them properly, confirming there is a drive, but I don't know which disk belonging to which block device)

Cool, check journalctl to see if the esata drive shows up there.

Oh yes it does, and I tried to remove HDD and plug it back, it does show, but if I power down or reboot, the first time it won't show me information.

Note: Also an update here, I saw your note saying root FS should be on USB 2.0 port, however I use USB 3.0 port to boot without any issue, leaving me the valuable eSATA port to connect my 4-bay enclosure.
