Hello
Does anyone know how to overcome the situation where after rebooting the appleTV, the external hard drive must be re-plugged in order to get recognized?
Thanks
Simon

I have this issue too, always have - even when I did a factory restore of my AppleTV (to 1.0) then updated to 2.1 and re-enabled USB using NitoTV Smart Update. None of my USB drives are detected at boot time, I have to unplug/replug them, or power them off then on for them to automount.
The above forum link is specifically about getting NTFS drives to mount - it doesn't seem to address this issue.
sarbel - you might try adding a mount command in your /etc/rc.local as a work around for this issue. I haven't tried it myself but maybe it'll work.

ran this command which solved the problem:
sudo defaults write \ /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount \ AutomountDisksWithoutUserLogin -bool true
