I was assuming your description was correct.
Maybe I am not using correct terminology. Below are the dmesg outputs after connection to KOA2 oand KV respectively. The former is consistant with my experience when an unpartitioned storage device is attached, the latter when a device that has been partitioned device has been attached. Of course, the device or a partition has to be formatted in order to be mounted. Both my KOA2 and KV can be mounted, the KOA2 mounts without specifying a partition, e.g. mount -t auto /dev/sdb /media/usb and files show up.
