Hoping someone can help me out here, im quite new so please excuse any false assumptions.
I recently had a relatives mac boot drive fail(seems mechanically fine, but wont appear in OSX or windows). I decided to try plugging it into one of my macs thats dual booted with ubuntu.
The drive does not appear as a drive normally would, however I can see the computer recognize it when plugged in(so im assuming ill have to force mount it?).
The drive appears in lsusb and dmesg(see below for output), however it doesn't show up in fdisk, dev/ or lsscsi so i dont have a location to force mount from(if that makes sense).
Here is the dmesg output:
phillip@phillip-MacBook:~$ dmesg | tail
[ 831.605083] scsi host4: usb-storage 1-2:1.0
[ 831.605533] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage

[ 998.566959] usb-storage 1-2:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
[ 998.567521] scsi host5: usb-storage 1-2:1.0
Judging by the output of successful mounts ive seen, should it not be handing that off to another process?
Edit: Im just realizing now that it says using "ehci-pci"........im pretty sure one of the earlier times I was toying with this is it was "uhci".....does that make sense?
Here is the lsusb output:(drive is device 6 in list)
