Drive has no mount point and other drives are read only.

Wait = try this:

sudo mount -vs -t jfs -o ro,nointegrity,errors=remount-ro /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1

then this again;

ls /mnt/sdc1

[kdeuser]

There seems to be a breath of life , small but it´s there.

reel@ReelBox:~$ sudo mount -vs -t jfs -o ro,nointegrity,errors=remount-ro /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1
[sudo] password for reel: 
/dev/sdc1 on /mnt/sdc1 type jfs (ro,nointegrity,errors=remount-ro)
reel@ReelBox:~$ ls /mnt/sdc1
music  opt  pictures  recordings  video

I can´t believe it , your a wizard.

Might be premature but the drive has fired up and i can see files.

Update : I can confirm the drive is alive and firing on all cylinders.

Was the solution just to run :

sudo mount -vs -t jfs -o ro,nointegrity,errors=remount-ro /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1

ls /mnt/sdc1

Print of fstab below :



Could this drive be made into read/write ? or is this too much to ask.

One last thing and this is puzzling me , still can´t write to Kate text file.

[oshunluvr]

I doubt it will mount read-write and I wouldn't trust it at this point. I would copy everything off that you can and re-format (and check the drive itself). Likely a few files are damaged but hopefully, most will work. When you copy them off, usually damaged files will have a zero size.

Re. Kate start a new thread. I doubt that's a related issue.

[kdeuser]

@oshunluvr, my gratitude to you sir, a late Christmas present.

Thanks again.

[kdeuser]

I may have been over enthusiastic but this morning on switching on the pc all drives refused to load.

This is usually not a problem as i go to the mediacenter part and via remote control mount the drives. Of course the drive in quesstion doesn´t mount - it should and was.

Back to the pc part and in terminal enter those magic commands and says already mounted.

Ok, i´ll cut to the chase here ; question - have to enter :

sudo mount -vs -t jfs -o ro,nointegrity,errors=remount-ro /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1

Everytime for the drive to mount and on entering :

ls /mnt/sdc1

It cancels the former out, so i just omit the latter and bingo - but :

Is there / would there be a way of making this mount permenant , or is this a temporary fix until a new drive appears ?

Thanks .

My apologies on the double post .

[oshunluvr]

To make the mounting permanent, edit /etc/fstab and enter:

/dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1 jfs ro,nointegrity,errors=remount-ro 0 0

but if a simple "ls" is causing it to unmount you're not going to be able to do much. Is there anything in dmesg output regarding the drive?

[kdeuser]

Mixed results from editing fstab with :

/dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1 jfs ro,nointegrity,errors=remount-ro 0 0

Upon restart sdb1 and sdd1 mount but curiously not sdc1.

The restart nearly always has the following error and the pc comes to a stop :

An error occurred while mounting /media/hd1

Press s to skip mounting or m for manual recovery.

I press s and hd2 proceeds hd1 , press s again and booting continues.

Have to do this every time.

Then tried the combination below :

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 jfs ro,nointegrity,errors=remount-ro 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1 jfs ro,nointegrity,errors=remount-ro 0 0
/dev/sdd1 /mnt/sdd1 jfs ro,nointegrity,errors=remount-ro 0 0

All 3 drives mounted in pc mode but in mediacenter via the remote control, the os does not boot.

Then removed all lines and back to where i was. At least the drives do work but still can not write to them - unless you kdesudo dolphin ( have been using this for years now ).

Can not see anything strange in the dmesg command readout ,although something curious did happened when installing nvidia drivers. The terminal kept saying error or something on those lines on said drive, sdc1. Removed the sata cable and drivers then install. Put back sata cable and fired up all drives and they loaded fine.

I should mention that i believe sdc1 was mounted then , although there were some issues on the nvidia install which led to where we are now.

[kdeuser]

I changed the mount point to fit in with the mounts in the existing os , which was my thinking on why sdc1 wasn´t mounting on bootup.

First , created the mount point :

sudo mkdir /media/hd3

Went to find the UUID of sdc1 with the following command :

To list drives by UUID run ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/

Wrote a new line to fstab including the new UUID :



Problem is on reboot i get that error :

An error occurred while mounting /media/hd3

Press s to skip mounting or m for manual recovery.

On pressing s booting continues but sdc1 again doesn´t mount - damn.

We are close here though.

[kdeuser]

The os is running dead slow and lost count of the times the pc has rebooted.

Seems that the os refuses me to enter hd2 all other drives are ok.

Writing this now is a pain , as if i wre in Windows infected with a trojan.

Screen shot of System Monitor ,maybe ths can help.
