5 second Power Loss - Can't Get Into Ext USB Drive SOLVED!!!
5 second Power Loss - Can't Get Into Ext USB Drive SOLVED!!!
I have an 80GB Ximeta drive connected to my computer via USB. After the power glitch, I'm unable to see any files on the Ximeta drive. Is there a way to "reset" all drives using the fstab file? How do I do this?

Re: 5 second Power Loss - Can't Get Into Ext USB Drive
If you run
Code:
sudo mount -a
it will try to mount everything in fstab that is not noauto. It seems more likely that you need to unplug and replug the drive. Does it show up in lsusb? fdisk -l?

Wow! that did it. Problem solved. I rand fdisk -l as root and the drive did not show up until after I ran mount -a. Thank you. Now I need to document those terminal commands for the next brown-out.
