I bought a USB 3.0 External 3.5" HDD Case.
It is based on the following chip: JMicron JMS567.
I want to use it for attaching my internal HDD which has three partitions: swap and two ext4 partitions.
For testing purposes, I took my old 200 GB HDD, which had 2 partitions: first is a little NTFS partition, and the 2nd one is an ext4 partition.
My PC is running under Linux Mint 17.2, x86_64, kernel 4.4.
When I connected the HDD case to my PC, I could access the first NTFS partition, but it was impossible to access the 2nd ext4 partition! I also tried the USB case on Arch 2017.8 (VirtualBox). The same issue!
The following is what dmesg says on mount fail:
[288553.362536] sdd: sdd1 sdd2
[288553.362593] sdd: p2 size 384428032 extends beyond EOD, enabling native capacity

[288555.667902] EXT4-fs (sdd2): bad geometry: block count 48053504 exceeds size of device (48053293 blocks)
I'm 100% sure that my disk has no errors! I tested it when it was connected to my PC as a regular SATA HDD!
The most funny is that under Windows 7 I installed ext2fsd driver which allows to access ext4 partitions under Windows. So, under Win 7 I can access the 2nd ext4 partition without any problems!
This is definitely a USB driver issue!
My 200 GB disk params when it was connected as a SATA drive (I set to bold those values which differ when the disk is connected via USB):

As you can see the geometry is wrong, because sector size is wrong. Maybe, there's any parameter in mount options which allows the user to set block/sector size? Or another solution?

Answer
Finally! I've found the solution which allows to use a regular mount command:
sudo resize2fs -f /dev/sdd2
That's an output:
Resizing the filesystem on /dev/sdd2 to 48053293 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/sdd2 is now 48053293 blocks long.
This command does not delete data which is very important!
After that I am able to open both partitions with standard filesystem tools!
