Is this possible? I have been reading forums and only catch things here and there
about it but nothing confirming it. I have rooted my xoom and installed the
1.4ghz OC kernel. I have the OTG cable and when I connect it to my xoom with
my hard drive I don't see anything happen. I would appreciate if someone could
confirm if this works or not and point me in the right direction as to how to set it
up.
Thanks in advance

Having exact same issue, can mount the powered drive via usb no problem, but usb sticks - no luck
im having no luck
tiamat 1.4.4
3.1
Running NTFS Mount, selecting sda1 to mount and it says:
Attempting to mount
Mount failed...
I am trying on a 2GB NTFS Formatted USB Stick.
I am only testing as I gave my 500gb NTFS External to a friend for the weekend and wasnt having any luck with that either although I havent tested it out with NTFS Mount.
Is there anything else I should be doing?
In 1.4.4. I was able to mount my 160gb NTFS drive, however it would NOT stay mounted...
I've switched back to 1.4.3. Testing now and it seems to be fine...
After 10 minutes it also unmounted itself...This is an older drive, not sure if its going bad, but it wasnt doing this before 1.4.4
Edit: if I unplug and remount it remounts fine...weird!
Edit2: USB Sticks and memory cards work just fine
Using the Motorola Camera Connection kit (their OTG cable):
No problem mounting a USB Stick at 16 GB formatted as FAT32 or EXT2
Recognizes the same stick and tried to mount if NTFS, but then "freaks" out (NTFS Mount can't actually mount it as NTFS, and File System gets confused) and is unable to read write.
Does not recognize either of my "self powered" USB external drives (1TB and 4TB) - no /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 appears in /dev/block unlike with the USB Stick.
This is with the Tiamat 3.1 and Kernel 1.4.4.
I heard 2TB harddrives work as well.
I don't have any proof though.
although USB is a preferred power method and a constant output of 5V (around about there)
Sometimes, the xoom is not powerful enough to power self powered hard drives, but if they come with a PSU then youll be fine.
As for Usb Sticks, thats beyond me however i think they may suffer from the same issue.
Remember, the Xoom is battery only and is not designed to be a USB power pocket unlike say, the transformer.

I can verify that my self-powered ntfs 750GB HDD works fine on HC3.2 with the Tiamat Rom 2.0 Manta Ray, when I use the free USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG app. This app also works for my 16GB FAT32 thumb drive.
I have a couple 2.5 HDD and I am using the adapter that goes with them I hooked up one to a powered usb port (USB walladapter) the other to the OTG port and I can't get it to detect the drive is spinning nd everything I am using paragon NTFS mount.

I am not sure but believe the drive must in Fat32 format rather than NTFS
try stickmount; it ll do ntfs
I can get the external hdd to be read by my tab I've hooked it to a USB reader and is powered 5v and it's still saying blank USB drive detected, and I also have the drive in two partitions fat32 and ntfs format Nothin picks up, and have downloaded apps to assist in it to be recognized still Nothin, I'm running stock rom jelly bean 4.1.2.any help out there thanks.
Firstly,make sure you have Root access..
get super user.
download paragonNTFS from the playstore..
Connect HDD to the Tab..via usb otg host dongle
Open Paragon App,grant permissions to superuser..(remember forever)
it will either auto mount your drive to /external sd card or /usb drive or you can mount it manually to where you want to mount it.
The thing here is Ive never tried a HDD with a FAT32 and NTFS partition on the same drive before.not sure if this will give probs but should be able to do it.Try removing any external sd cards and look in location of external sd card for content of fat32 partition.you will always have to mount the NTFS partition with something like paragon it wont auto mount by it self like fat32 does..
Check settings / storage and look for your hdd volume info there
if its not there then you have problems.

P.S..
How exactley are you powering the Hard drive?
make sure its not connected to the power wires of the usb host cable
adding power to this seems to upset the host connection for me.
for a 5v hdd you would have to use a powered hub or from any usb as long as there is a seperate power source plug for power and differnt plug for data.
the newer hdds seem to have gone this way now but the older ones dont use this and run power through the data lines power source.you can try use a y cable for that type of hdd but run through a powered hub would be better.
maybe through up a pic of what you are running or some more info eg what drive and app to mount it.stick to paragon it works for tab 7.7.no need for anything else.
This is my set up,I'm rooted on stock though.
