Disk Managment Issue [SOLVED]

[MotoTom]

I have a USB HDD attached to my Pogoplug E02. It is configured in FSTAB with a UUID setup. I wanted this so there would be no confusion as to where this drive is mounted.

I also installed uDev-automount so that my various thumb drives can be automounted and used immediately.

My problem is the USB HDD is now being mounted twice, Once with the name of the /media mount point and the other with the automount mount point - /media/hd-sdb1

I don't know if this is a problem in-the-making or not but it seems it would be better if the USB HDD was only mounted once.

What say you?

TIA.

label partiotions on the hdd then you are guaranteed the same mountpoint (/media/<label>)

whats the filesystem on the hdd? ntfs doesnt work with udev-automount

[WarheadsSE]

Sure about that?

[moonman]

What exactly?

[Obihoernchen]

Yes udev-automount doesn't work with NTFS.
But udevil is working fine

[moonman]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', 'S')ure about that?

[MotoTom]

I think I need to clarify a bit. Here's my FSTAB:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
UUID=f84b54bd-11d2-4651-9849-d3bc2a50c696 / ext2 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 1
UUID=f80b5039-0dab-4cc1-9de6-8730e7ddd6e3 /media/StoryBook ext3 defaults,users 0 0
')

Here's my df
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[tomb@TRB-PP ~]$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 3866304 1277808 2392096 35% /

devtmpfs 126152 0 126152 0% /dev

/dev/sdb1 1442145212 883211100 485677312 65% /media/StoryBook
')

I'm trying to stop udev-automount from mounting the /media/hd-sdb1 instance. I was under the impression that udav-automount would ignore drives in FSTAB. Clearly that's not correct.

Again, TIA.

[Obihoernchen]

Ahh now I understand xD

Just edit /etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules

Maybe add a 2nd line like that at the top:
KERNEL!="sd[a-z][0-9]", GOTO="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"
KERNEL=="sdb1", GOTO="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"

Should work not tested^^

The easier way

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'e2label /dev/sdb1 StoryBook')

Then you can remove the fstab entry, it will automount the drive as /media/StoryBook

[moonman]

also, with your fstab, if you remove the drive and try to boot without it - pogo won't boot.
