Its the Label Data which is now I'm trying to use as boot device

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]$ blkid
/dev/ubi0_0: UUID="fee2a8b2-0dde-49b4-bf18-bddf61acce52" TYPE="ubifs"
/dev/sda1: UUID="1c29b948-c0bd-4685-8ae3-8e38a6210291" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sdb2: LABEL="Data" UUID="2ba032fc-0e7e-4563-aa0d-77a89b35cdd2" TYPE="ext3"
')

Pull the second drive and see if it boots.

I'm keeping one drive and with my usb it always boot but with this usb hdd which is replicated doesn't seems booting would that label be stopping it?

[xenoxaos]

The oxnas devices don't depend on a filesystem label. The kernel/bootargs will boot /dev/sda1 every time.

I think the USB HDD is recognized as /dev/sdb? maybe thats the reason its not booting from USB HDD

[dinjo]

Any clues on this want to use the USB hdd

[pepedog]

If it is the only usb drive when booting, it will always be sda1.
Plug in extra drives after boot

[dinjo]

Yes but it does not when USB HDD only is attached

Hook up a TTL serial cable and find out what's happening.

Here are the drive details in case it helps
