    Re: HELP!!!!!

    It may be a delay, but it would be helpful if you read before you post. I already provided you with the reason and the fix in my last post.

      Re: HELP!!!!!

      lol.... it's like a puzzle.... sorry about that...

      Still can't mount the drive, and I can't see anything wrong at this point, unless the system needs an entry in the mtab file...

        No. The /etc/mtab file is 'dynamic' and created during the boot process. It's owned and controlled by root.

        Did you create the missing mount-point as I identified?

            Re: HELP!!!!!

            Okay. So it's all in one location (you next reply), open a console and type the following commands, coping/pasting the output of each into your reply:
            Code:
            cat /ect/fstab
dir /media
blkid
            Do not omit any part of the output of each command - copy the entire output.

              cat /etc/fstab

              UUID=a8d759a6-4d0f-46db-aea1-1ae2155e5fd1 / ext3 defaults 0 1
              UUID=f148d532-7241-4e6f-8ff0-d92ac56c5e0a swap swap sw 0 0
              UUID=b0098e7f-b258-462d-bacc-c013a95da281 /media/extra ext3 defaults 0 0

              dir /media

              cdrom cdrom0 cdrom1 extra

              blkid

              /dev/ramzswap0: TYPE="swap"
              /dev/sda5: TYPE="swap" UUID="f148d532-7241-4e6f-8ff0-d92ac56c5e0a"
              /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
              /dev/sdb5: LABEL="extra" UUID="b0098e7f-b258-462d-bacc-c013a95da281" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
              /dev/sda1: UUID="a8d759a6-4d0f-46db-aea1-1ae2155e5fd1" TYPE="ext3"

              There's nothing on the drive. I could try deleting the partition through gpart and start all over again.

                Just to butt in, didn't know you could run blkid as a user these days. Very nice. I also like the -L flag.

                  toad@ What isn't shown in the fstab output (I did say to copy everything) isn't going to be an issue with the problem at hand. If the system is booting at all, the entries above that for root ( / ) are okay. What I'm stumped about is why the /dev/sdb5 partition isn't mounting so andreasj64 has read/write access to it. It's identified as a Linux ext3 partition.

                    Re: HELP!!!!!

                    What is the SEC_TYPE="ext2"?

                    That's the only thing that is looking out of place to me.

                    After my last reboot, the drive does appear to be mounting in the KDE, but I can't write to it. Access denied. If I use the mount command in the terminal though, it say's it's not mounting with the prior error I posted, "mount: can't find media/extra in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"

                      Ha, I deleted the "offending" bit of my mail before you posted your reply, so it may not make sense to others, sorry... And you are quite right, makes no difference.

                      Reason he doesn't have rw access to sdb5 is because he is "hard" mounting it to /media/extra. Now let me guess what the output of ls -la /media is...

                      @ andreasj64

                      You need read write access to your mountpoint. Do a

                      Code:
                      sudo chown your_username:your_group_name /media/extra
                      Followed by a
                      Code:
                      sudo mount -a
                      Now the tune should have changed...

                        Re: HELP!!!!!

                        I'd say better to modify the fstab file for the /dev/sdb5 entry to show this:
                        UUID=b0098e7f-b258-462d-bacc-c013a95da281 /media/extra ext3 defaults,relatime 0 0
                        This is what I have for my two additional HDs entries in fstab (the ext3 defaults,relatime 0 0) and they all mount at boot time with read/write access to me.

                          Re: HELP!!!!!

                          Yeah, but have you got permissions on the mountpoints as well? I bet that is what andreasj64 is lacking. andreas, could you please post the output of
                          Code:
                          ls -la /media
                          Snowhog, if /media/extra belongs to root:root (my guess), would fstab parameters override that?

                            User or root ownership of mount points in /media isn't an issue. All of my mount points in /media are root:root. In fact, they have to be (at least initially when created - /media is owned by root). The fact that a mountpoint is owned by root isn't a problem if the options in fstab are properly set.
