Hi there. This is making me mad.
I have this usb drive that just stopped working. I am on Manjaro if it can help.
When looking at similar posts I’ve seen people do these commands and those are my results :
sudodmesg | grep usb

I’ve rebooted plenty of times. I don"t think my kernel modules aren’t loaded. I don’t know what’s wrong.
Last time I “could use”, it it showed a 100% filled drive and I couldn’t move my files (it crashed and disconnected when I tried). I have tried on Windows and Mac. But it still doesn’t work.
If my usb drive is not salvageable do you think there is a way to scrap the data on it ?
To me, both messages say that the device does show up.
Just not where you expect to find it, though. /devusb is definitely wrong - that “thing” does not exist and never will
(unless you created it yourself, as a mount point …)
Then attach the stick and one more time - the new device is your USB
lsblk
Check the filesystem of the device added to the list - X is device letter and y is partition no - usually there’s only one - but who knows - I have USB devices with more than one partition
lsblk -o FSTYPE /dev/sdXy
If it is a linux type != ntfs then run
sudo fsck /dev/sdXy
Depending on the outcome - you may be able to mount the device
Create a temporary folder - in you rhome - to mount the device
mkdir ~/temp
Then mount the device partition (same rule as above apply)
sudo mount /dev/sdXy ~/temp
If successful - open the folder in your favorite file manager
Same here unplugged on top and plugged on the bottom.
/dev $lsusb

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:
```
pasted text
```
This will just cause it to be rendered like this:
Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.
Instead of like this:
Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.
Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.
Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.
For more information, please see:
Also, if your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:
LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl
This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.
Even lsusb - shows the device is present - there is no new block devices.
To me - this point towards the device storage units has been blown somehow.
It is entirely possible the controller part of the stick (the one that identifies itself to the system and read/write the storage) works but the storage has gone.
Unless you have some extremely valuable data and are willing to cough up the price of a new motor bike - you should break (a hammer and a hard surface usully does the trick) and discard it at the local electronics recycling business.
