External USB Storage not detected in 18.06.1

I have a TP-Link TL-WDR4300 with 3 external hard drives connected via USB. All 3 are detected in version 17.01.5, but when upgrading to version 18.06.01, only 2 of them are detected in block info.
I have installed the kmod-usb-storage, kmod-fs-ext4, and block-mount packages. Of the 3 drives, 2 are usb 2 and one is usb 3 (the router only has usb 2 ports). Both USB 2 drives are connected through a hub and are both detected, the USB 3 drive is not. I have tried connecting the USB 3 drive through the hub as well, but that makes no difference.
If I revert back to 17.01.5 and install the same packages, all 3 are detected again.
I have checked the log for errors, but did not find any. When disconnecting and re-connecting the drive, I get these messages in the log:
kern.info kernel: [ 614.971516] usb 1-1.1: USB disconnect, device number 3
kern.info kernel: [ 620.640616] usb 1-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-platform

Could I be missing any packages or is this a bug in the new release?

opkg update
opkg install kmod-usb-storage-uas

It would be helpful to see the output of opkg list-installed | grep usb before you install kmod-usb-storage-uas

Thank you!
That worked perfectly :slight_smile:

In case you want the list of installed packages before I installed kmod-usb-storage-uas:

Here are the installed usb packages:

opkg list-installed | grep usb
kmod-usb-core - 4.9.120-1
kmod-usb-ehci - 4.9.120-1
kmod-usb-ledtrig-usbport - 4.9.120-1
kmod-usb-storage - 4.9.120-1
kmod-usb2 - 4.9.120-1

Thanks!

I'm afraid, I forgot to ask for the same after installation of kmod-usb-storage-uas
Could you be so kind? :slight_smile:

Sure:

opkg list-installed | grep usb
kmod-usb-core - 4.9.120-1
kmod-usb-ehci - 4.9.120-1
