<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Are you using KDE? A while ago there was a bug that a USB device plugged in for the second time is not recognized anymore. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">I'm not sure this was Leap or TW, but is fixed already (I'm using TW on T520 and X1Extreme)</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">In any case you should take a look at the journal (journalctl -f) while plugging the USB drive in</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">HTH</p>
