I used my school Windows PC to copy the content(to the USB) and now when I connect it to my home computer(running Antergos) it is not detectable.

Other pen drives are working fine. My friend, who also had to copy, has a Windows PC and told me that his pen drive is showing as a shortcut(not accessible).

Tried fdisk -l, lsblk and lsusb but the device is not showing. Output of lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 008: ID 23a9:ef18 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 002: ID 046d:c07e Logitech, Inc.

Pardon my English.

EDIT: Reply to KyleH: output for command udevadm monitor:

monitor will print the received events for: UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing KERNEL - the kernel uevent KERNEL[6416.233763] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-2 (usb) KERNEL[6416.234592] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0 (usb) UDEV [6416.238130] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-2 (usb) UDEV [6416.240221] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0 (usb)

  • If you use 'udevadm monitor' and plug in the usb stick, does it show what dev device is created for it? Commented Jul 29, 2017 at 14:47
  • Your comment with output isn't showing for me. Does it say /dev/sdX anywhere, X being your drive? If not, then the kernel isn't recognizing it. Commented Jul 29, 2017 at 15:10
  • @KyleH sorry, my bad, here is the output: monitor will print the received events for: UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing KERNEL - the kernel uevent KERNEL[6416.233763] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-2 (usb) KERNEL[6416.234592] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0 (usb) UDEV [6416.238130] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-2 (usb) UDEV [6416.240221] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0 (usb) It is on the question details.

Sorry, didn't see it originally. It is being detected but you will have to write/edit udev rules to match the device when it is plugged in. Then a device file will be created in the dev directory. Udev rules are fairly straightforward rules files that specify if x property equals y. Something like KERNEL=="hdb", NAME="my_spare_disk" Check arch documentation which is great! https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev

So, I finally solved it. I just had to create a folder media in root folder, i.e., /media

After it I connected my USB drive and it worked as before.
