tail: cannot open `/var/log/messages' for reading: No such file or directory
I had used lsusb command
thanigai@hostname:~$ lsusb

note that I only have 2 devices hooked to my rig. So from what I can gather it seems the system itself isn't recognizing the drive. So try these things and post back.
1.) Try the device on another system(specifically a windows machine). I doubt that there's is some issue with linux being able to find the drivers for your device.
2.) Look at your drives manufacturer to see if you can find the linux version of your device drivers. Try google as well.
