Hard Drive Troubles

Re: Hard Drive Troubles

Doesn't make much sense that they would have a different drive ID system for 64-bit

I dunno ... I guess it is what it is.

Rog, your IDE drives are all formatted VFAT or NTFS -- I wonder if that triggers the "hd_" designation?

How odd...

When I installed Gutsy, the only things it wrote in the fstab where the hard drive it was installed on and the removeable media (DVDRW) and nothing else. I added in all the others myself

However, when I first started up gutsy, it showed the other drives, just had that error on them. They where not in the fstab though....

You'll never guess what I forgot to do....

I only forgot to create the bloody mount points

yes, yes, I know, I get the medal shaped like a willy for my daftness

*shoots self in face with elastic band gun*

btw, in Gutsy, is there a way to reboot/shut down without loging out first? only option I have in log out is 'log out' at the mo.
Sure I'll find the option after a while, but thought I'd ask while I'm here

Workaround in the konsole:

:~$ sudo shutdown -r now

-r Reboot after shutdown.
-h Halt or poweroff after shutdown.

But, didn't the installation process give you that option? Ahhh, I'll bet you took the "use the whole disk" rather than "manual" approach? If you use the Alternate Install CD, and use the "manual" method when it gets to the partitioner, you get to pick the mount points for each partition, tell it whether to format or leave them as-is, and for your "extra" swap partition you can just tell it "do not use". It pretty much eliminates having to brew your own fstab file.

As Rog131 notes, there have been some bugs reported.

If you just need to restart your X session (like trying your new xorg.conf file), you can Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and you don't have to shut down the rest of the system. Otherwise, my favorite non-GUI command to do a reboot is

sudo shutdown now -r
