The old HDD is mostly ext3; there was also an

there some other command I should use to probe for
whether Debian knows there's a HDD connected by USB?
"df" will ignore filesystems until they are mounted.
- Do you see anything in "blkid" when the USB enclosure is attached?
- Do you see anything in "journalctl -f" when you plug in the USB enclosure?
- Do you have a desktop file manager (e.g. Thunar in XFCE), and if so,
does it show any unmounted partitions? As an ordinary user, you might
not have permission to mount or access them, but it would be good to
know if they are there.
