Transport endpoint is not connected

[evilhomer]

I was messing around and broke my install. Didn't have must customization anyway, so I decided to just fdisk my usb drive and start from scratch.

1.) Completely clean install following this: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5 ... 2-pinkgray
2.) pacman -Syu
3.) reboot
4.) pacman udev-automount
5.) reboot

I check to see if automount worked:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# cd /media
[root@alarm media]# ls
PogoPlug
[root@alarm media]# cd PogoPlug
-bash: cd: PogoPlug: Transport endpoint is not connected
[root@alarm media]# ls -la
ls: cannot access PogoPlug: Transport endpoint is not connected
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Jan 2 2000 ..
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? PogoPlug
[root@alarm media]# rmdir PogoPlug
rmdir: failed to remove `PogoPlug': Device or resource busy')

/etc/mtab's last entry is:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/dev/sda1 /media/PogoPlug fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,d
efault_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0')

umount /dev/sda1 then mounting it works. I unmounted, deleted /media/PogoPlug and rebooted and the directory was back. I'm stumped. Any ideas what I'm seeing?

Thanks.

Automount will only work if you plugin the drive after the system has booted up, or if you have uInitrd (which you don't because alarm doesn't come with it), so if you want the drive to be mounted at boot then add it to /etc/fstab and use UUID and not /dev/sdX#, use "blkid" to see UUID of a drive/partition.

Thanks. Still not having luck tho:

Finding the UUID gives:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sda
└─sda1 ntfs PogoPlug 7420D80620D7CCEC /media')

fstab entry:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'UUID=7420D80620D7CCEC /media ntfs-3g rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=
0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0')
which I just copied from mtab.

I installed ntfs-3g, and used that type, but also tried the type in mtab, which was fuseblk.

In either case, I can't ssh after I reboot. I have to boot to the pogoplug, then plug in the flash drive, ssh in and edit fstab.

Latest build seems to be broken (as on http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4145)
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# cd /media/HD_Library
-bash: cd: /media/HD_Library: Transport endpoint is not connected
[root@alarm ~]# pacman -Su fuse
warning: fuse-2.9.2-1 is up to date ')
dev-automount installed, tries to work, but fails

I can confirm, it doesn't work with ntfs filesystem. While I don't have any NTFS drives, I tried to format a spare 64GB as NTFS and it gives this error. Use ext2/3/4 fs as a workaround.

[moonman]

manual mounting does work though.

umount /media/<mountpoint>
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdX# /media/<mountpoint>

Looks like systemd kills ntfs-3g process after processing udev rules as ntfs-3g is run in userland? Don't know for sure. I'll take a look when I have more time unless somebody else figures it out before I do.

[WarheadsSE]

At this point I suggest making and fstab entry.

[moonman]

I think systemd does the same with fstab. Don't quote me on this.

[evilhomer]

Yes, that's what I'm observing. Only manual mounting seems to work.

[moonman]

nope, fstab works after getting rid of udev-automount
