Hello,
I am brand new to using OSMC and a Raspberry Pi, however, in doing research I have accomplished a few things. However, I have an external USB Drive (Toshiba)
and when I do a lsusb command the item shows as Device 005.
However if I look in /dev there is Not sda, sdb, sdc, etc… found at all.
I really need to hook this up to show under the Media folder from what I understand.
All help in getting this resolved is appreciated.
Kim
It should be automounted in /media. How is the drive powered?
The system journal will probably give you the most helpful advice here.

I am having the same issue. OSMC detects the device but there is nothing in /dev/sd*
Any ideas why?

Seeing the drive in lsusb doesn’t mean it is available.
Do you power the hard drive externally or if not do you have max_usb_current=1 setting in config.txt and a super powerful power supply on your device?
Adding max_usb_current=1 to the config.txt made rpi mount the external disk. but I think it is not able to sustain it. I get a lot of i/o errors. I am currently using a 2A power supply.
In that case, sounds like you need a powered USB hub because the pi is still not able to provide enough power for your drive.
