    [SOLVED] partition not mounting occasionally

    Intermittently, my swap partition will fail to mount during a restart. Since it never gets used I haven't worried about it. Then I remembered that /home is on the same physical drive. What's is the best way to test the drive? If a destructive test is needed I can copy the date elsewhere. The advantage of multiple drives. I have copies of all the data, but it taks a long time to copy from the external usb drive or ftp from other machine. If drive is going out, I'll just use it for testing betas or something

    Tried GSmartControl, however, it cannot identify the hard drives. It does identify the bd-writer, which works fine. Well, haven't written a BD, but does fine with DVD and CD. Will continue the qiest for a good program and check back here now and then

        It didn't. I checked and found the UUID was wrong. How it changed, I don't know. Fixed it in fstab. it still doesn't mount though. Or ar least mount doesn't show any difference after running mount -a. Looked through mount options. Is there a way to make it just show mounted partitions and skip everything else?

        here is mount output in case you see something
        Code:
        root@dadspc:/etc# mount -a
root@dadspc:/etc# mount 
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys/fs/cgroup type tmpfs (rw)
none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)

gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=virgil)
        blkid
        Code:
        /dev/sda1: UUID="5719230d-96bb-4dfc-a2de-2560207fc3f9" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/sdb1: UUID="35d155a4-b661-41aa-90da-fe430fe82941" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/sdb2: UUID="6a60888e-21c2-41b4-99c4-f5d2d5633328" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/sdc1: UUID="e1739fe2-6a3e-4337-a4d6-4775b2855b1a" TYPE="swap" 
/dev/sdc5: UUID="9c9bdbba-5ce8-42e6-b591-9d7ddbeb31d9" TYPE="ext4"
        sdb1 and sdb2 are other linux installs. Only thing shared between them is swap. sda1 Kubuntu 14.04, sdc5 = /home

        fstab
        Code:
        # / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=5719230d-96bb-4dfc-a2de-2560207fc3f9 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /home was on /dev/sdc5 during installation
UUID=9c9bdbba-5ce8-42e6-b591-9d7ddbeb31d9 /home           ext4    defaults        0       2
# swap was on /dev/sdc1 during installation
        Hopefully enough info. Or maybe too much (sorry)

          their is no mount info below the line in red ,,,,,,,,it should look like this

          Code:
          # swap was on /dev/sdc1 during installation
UUID=e1739fe2-6a3e-4337-a4d6-4775b2855b1a none            swap    sw              0       0

            Bad copy/paste. That is how it looks. I suppose I'll get an error if I ever reach the point where the swap is needed. haven't been over 40% ram usage yet

              Check the file /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume. The UUID in this file should be the same as the UUID of your swap partition. If it isn't, then edit the file and supply the correct UUID. Then rebuild your initramfs:
              Code:
              sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

                That worked, the UUID in resume was wrong. Changed it
