dopo un po di smanettamento ho ottenuto, digitando lsusb
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 04ce:0002 ScanLogic Corp. SL11R-IDE IDE Bridge
Quindi qualcosa rispetto a prima si è mosso ma non mi riconosce comunque il dispositivo. Potrei però montarlo manualmente? Ho tutti i dati che mi servono?

Tra l'altro il comando sudo mount /media/usb3/ -o unhide
mi da come risposta:
mount: impossibile trovare /media/usb3 in /etc/fstab o /etc/mtab

Allora ho controllato fstab ma non esiste, mtab invece è così:

# Configuration file for the usbmount package, which mounts USB mass
# storage devices when they are plugged in and unmounts them when they
# are removed.

# Mountpoints: These directories are eligible as mointpoints for USB
# mass storage devices. A newly plugged in device is mounted on the
# first directory in this list that exists and on which nothing is
# mounted yet.
MOUNTPOINTS="/media/usb0 /media/usb1 /media/usb2 /media/usb3
/media/usb4 /media/usb5 /media/usb6 /media/usb7"

# Filesystem types: USB mass storage devices are only mounted if they
# contain a filesystem type which is in this list.
