Fedora :: Mounting 2nd Drive At Boot?
Jul 30, 2010
I've got a semi-retired hdd (with a few bad sectors my disk utility tells me) formatted in ext4 that can be mounted onto the Desktop after boot provided root password is offered first. I thought it would be straight forward to mount it at boot with something in etc/fstab like :
Code:
/dev/sdb /home/Jo/Desktop ext4
But this doesn't work, is there a glaring error here ?
Various threads suggest permission restrictions could be the cause but i have had no success with them

So if I boot without a DVD or CD in my optical drive, then I attempt to put one it, it doesn't mount. I try mounting with the terminal and that fails as well. If I boot with the media in the optical drive, it works fine. (this problem occurs both on my desktop and laptop and I know the DVD and CD's work in both 9.10 and in windows, This error also occurs with Linux Mint and Sabayon leading me to believe this is a kernel issue).
[Code]...
What do I need to do to get this to work like it should? I have been asking about this since the beta of 10.04

Running 10.10 64bit Kernel 2.6.35-23 I am noticing what I think is a big hiccup in my boot process my drive is mounting at around the 4sec mark then my system pauses for roughly 13 seconds, you can even it see it on the screen a blinking cursor comes up the entire time. Then during the rest of the boot my drive will re-mount at least 4 more times. Then during use of my system there will be random re-mounts throughout the use. Here is the mounting message
[Code]...
I just noticed the pausing recently after an update but have been seeing this re-mounting since install. Are these normal? They dont seem like it to me, and if they are normal why such a long time on the initial mount and every re-mount takes 4-5 seconds. Let me know if I can provide any further info as well.

I just installed a second hard drive in my desktop. It shows in the BIOS.
I followed the procedure here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...gANewHardDrive to install it in Ubuntu, except I formatted the drive to ext4 not ext3.
It mounts automatically without problem once I am in Ubuntu and I can read/write to it.
My issue is that it won't mount at boot. I get past GRUB and a few seconds later receive an error message giving me an option 'S' to skip, or 'M' to manually mount.
What I noticed is that the logical name for the drive (used sudo lshw -C disk to display) seems to change at each boot.
It goes from /dev/sdb to /dev/sdf and vice versa.
So, I'm thinking this is the problem since I can only add it to /etc/fstab according to what I last saw.

I need to mount a USB drive at boot up. I tried this entry in fstab:
Code:
LABEL=/Root-FS /Root-FS auto defaults,auto,user 1 0
But that did not do it. If I do a 'mount -a', that works.
This is for an embedded Debian system.

I know this has been covered in many threads before, but I'm stuck not finding my exact situation or an answer. I'm a newbie using a Debian Linux machine as the client and Windows XP machine as the server. I have successfully mounted the XP Network drive on the Linux machine using commands from the root terminal:
mount -t smbfs -o username="Windows Username",password=windowspassword //XPcomputername/folder /mountpoint/
However when I put the command in the ect/fstab file as suggested in several posts, I don't get any result on boot up. I.e. I can't get the network drive to mount on start up, I always have to manually mount it from the root terminal.

I have an 320GB hard drive with F11 installed. Lately, I got a 1.5TB new hard drive, on which I have installed F12. Now I want to use the 320GB as a second hard drive since I have lots of data on it. My question here is as I boot my desktop, how does it recognize to boot from the 1.5TB and consider the 320GB as a secondary? Is there anything I need to setup in BIOS? My motherboard has one extra SATA connection left for a second hard drive.

I am having issues mounting my non-OS hard drive (/dev/sda).I had the following information in my /etc/fstab file:/dev/sda /mnt/storage auto defaults 0 0This worked as expected; however, I decided the modify this so I can have it automounted to my home directory (/home/jesse/storage)./dev/sda /home/jesse/storage auto defaults 0 0This /mnt/storage remains intact even after rebooting the system.

I just switched to Fedora (from Ubuntu) and can't seem to get Fedora to automount my old drive (which is my old Ubuntu drive). I tried the following with no luck (in fact, when I did this, it chocked during boot and went into emergency mode:
In /etc/fstab, I entered:
/dev/sdc /media/UBUNTU_DRIVE defaults 0 0
Another odd thing is the UBUNTU_DRIVE directory just disappears after reboot (and I know it was there before rebooting).
I have two additional drives in my tower, and both do show up in gparted, so I'm not sure why they're not getting mounted.
Why can't Fedora auto mount secondary (internal drives) automatically?
What can I do to tell it to auto mount the secondary drives (I have two) automatically?

I am noticing problems accessing the firewall gui and mounting the second hard drive in my PC running Fedora 13. This is only when I am accessing the machine with VNC. If I am sitting in front of the physical machine, I have no problems at all. I would like VNC to behave more like I am sitting in front of the computer. Is there a way to do this? Thank you in advance for your feedback.

I looked through the guides and didn't find what I was looking for. Here is what I have so far:
[Code]...
That's the drive I am wanting to mount with full permissions for anyone. Right now the folder only has root permissions. Is there a specific group ID I assign this in fstab so it's automatically mounted with full permissions for anyone who logs in?

by default fedora 13 mounts the drive under /media/uuid, with no read or write access to users other than root. I need to be able to turn the drive on, have it automount so that I can read and write to it without logging in as root every time and dealing with changing permissions on files, etc.
In other distributions, this has worked flawlessly, but I'm not familiar enough with Fedora 13 yet to get it working. I've read the man pages, tried to search, but I can't seem to find a working answer,If I could get this one little inconvenience fixed, I'd be set... loving Fedora so far.

I am looking for a guide for Fedora 13 that tells me how to:
1. Create an encrypted partition on an an external USB hard drive
2. Tells me how to setup Fedora to ask me for the passphrase when I plug in the drive
3. Automounts the hard drive to a set location
The guide should deal with the situation that the computer can mount without declaring the external hard drive is not there.At present my attempt at mounting my Samsung Story USB2 hard drives does not meet criteria 2 and 3.

I want to mount a remote drive on bootup. I'm using FC14 and remote machine is FreeBSD. I've written a shell script to mount it. The script contains only one line:
Code:
mount 192.168.1.33:/home/user7 /media/mc33
I've to run this script from superuser mode to mount the file system(it works). So to mount it at bootup, I added the shell script to my PATH (/home/me/bin) and added it to Menu->System->Preferences->Startup Applications. Well this doesn't work because the root privileges are not present. I tried fixing it by giving root privileges to my shell script
Code:
#chmod +s mount-mc33
but it made no difference.

I just moved from ubuntu to fedora 14 and I'm having an issue with a portable USB hard drive. When the hard drive is connected at startup it mounts at /dev/sda and my other 3 internal hard drives are mounted at /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd; of course this is an issue with my FSTAB file since i mount some of the partitions in the first hard drive (/dev/sda) at some special points in my file system, so i need to restart my computer and unplug the USB hard drive to get things working, however when i was working with ubuntu this didn't happen. I need that the USB hard drive mounts at /dev/sdd at startup so my FSTAB could work.

I am basically mounting my portable hard drive (sdb1) and creating a bit image copy of sda on to the hard drive. What each line in the command is doing? e.g. what does ntfs-3g mean? what does the third line mean?

I have a Fedora machine that was installed with Linux LVM. I took the drive of that machine, connect it to disk enclosure, and connect to another Linux machine via USB connection. I can see that the drive /dev/sda is there:
Code:
[root@dd ~]# /sbin/fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes .....
I want to copy files from this drive. I try to mount it, but it didn't work. The /dev/sda1 is mounted fine, but it has only boot stuff.
Code:
[root@dd ~]# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/drive
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
How I can mount the drive and copy my files from this drive.

Just the last day or so, I've noticed a long pause when I boot my laptop, with lots of disk activity. dmesg says:
[Code]...
Why would there be a 15-second pause (during which the disk is slammed) between mounting root and mounting swap? During this time I see nothing but a blank purple screen, there are no cycling dots or text scroll. Is this normal and I'm just freaking out over nothing because there's no indicator of progress? GRUB default boot options: quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1920x1200-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap vt.handoff=7

I'm using Fedora 12 on my Thinkpad X200 and had no major problems since Installation of the Release Candidate. Unfortunately, since a week Fedora makes trouble when booting:
The system boots some times without any problems, some other times it hangs in the following way:
Code:
Gdracut: Mounted root filesystem /dev/sda1
dracut: Switching root
Welcome to ^[[0;34mFedora
Press 'I' to enter interactive startup

I have a setup that looks like this
[Code]....
and I'm dumped into recovery mode. However, if I remove these mounts from /etc/fstab via comments, I can wait for the system to boot (which it does very quickly) then mount the mapper devices myself. So what is going on? Has something changed wrt logical volumes, or is this just systemd? I can live with manual mounting, but any advice on resolving the automatic mounting situation would be great.

My USB flash drive has stopped working with Ubuntu.
Normally when I remove it I unmount it first, but the last time I just unplugged it. After I unplugged it, it started not working.
When I put it in a windows machine, it shows up as drive E: but says "no disk" when I try to access it.
In my Ubuntu machine I can see it as USBDrive under Places > Computer, but it's unmounted. When I click mount nothing happens.

I just updated to 10.04 from the previous version and I'm encountering two main problems: First, on boot, after grub, I get the following message: Quote:"Disk drive for /hdba/sda6 is not ready yet or not present" "Continue to wait, or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" It won't go past that (I've waited 30 min) If I press S then I get tis other message but it skips after a few seconds:
Quote: "Disk drive for /hdba/sda7 is not ready yet or not present" "Continue to wait, or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" If I press S then I have an ALMOST working system. You see: I have an external USB hard drive, shared between XP and Ubuntu with all my files in it, and it won't mount. It's a simpletech and it was working just before the update and it loads, mounts and unmounts perfectly on windows and on another laptop I've got running crunchbang!. I can see the disk in "Media" but says I have not enough permissions to see its contents.

I'm having a problem on startup where GRUB seems to time out attempting to mount my main drive. Here is the error it gives me:
Quote:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
-Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/b1517926-aba4-47d1-81f0-42ca5dd36257 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
I am given a initramfs shell. Sometimes waiting a couple of minutes and then typing 'exit' works. However, I've noticed if I do this:
Code:
(initramfs) mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/b1517926-aba4-47d1-81f0-42ca5dd36257 /root
(initramfs) exit
my laptop will boot.
I'm really not sure what the issue is, or how to even start to resolve it.. I'm not sure what the issue is, since

Running Slackware 13.1
Whenever I insert a dvd or a cd, it automatically mounts to /media/[name], Like for example, the DVD I have in now mounts to /media/TBC3.2.0 (TBC3.2.0 is the name of the disc itself).
I'm needing this to mount to a regular point like /media/cdrom0 or whatever. How can I fix this?
