[RESOLVED] What did I do to my drive configuration?

[Socaltom]

OK, Arch Linux ARM is installed and working perfectly on a Pink Pogoplug using the USB method
I am also running Samba and pyTivo.
I originally hooked up an 80gig USB drive for data ( was NTFS format)
After packing a bunch of videos on it, I decided to switch everything to a 160g drive ( don't we all have a bunch of old drives sitting around?)
Now that I've got the linux bug, I used cfdisk to partion the new drive, and I formated it to ext2 as HD-SDC1
and all went fine. I transferred my data from the 80g drive to the 160g and reconfigured Samba and pyTivo to see the new drive.
Then i removed the old drive, and that when strange things started happening.
The 80g drive was named Netdrive1
the 160g drive was named backup
now the 160g is HD-SDA1 and the 80 is HD-SDC1 ( named by the OS not by me), but backup and Netdrive both appear if I do a "dir" command, but they are both empty.
How do I rename the new drive? and how do I get rid of the old names?
I've done some searching, but I'm not having much luck.
Thanks
Tom

If the /media/whatever folders are empty, delete them with rm, they are remnants.

To name a drive-
tune2fs -L "drive-name" /dev/sda1
The boot partition doesn't get reflected in /media because it's just plain old /

this is what I got when I tried rm
[root@Arch Linux ARM install media]# rm backup
rm: cannot remove `backup': Is a directory

and when I did the tune2fs I got the same names

[root@Arch Linux ARM install media]# tune2fs -L "drive1" /dev/sda1
tune2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
[root@Arch Linux ARM install media]# tune2fs -L "drive2" /dev/sdc1
tune2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
[root@Arch Linux ARM install media]# dir
backup hd-sda1 hd-sdc1 Netdrive1 PQSERVICE
[root@Arch Linux ARM install media]#

[WarheadsSE]

umount /dev/sda1
umount /dev/sdc1
tune2fs -L "drive1" /dev/sda1
tune2fs -L "drive2" /dev/sdc1
rm -r backup
mount /dev/sda1
mount /dev/sdc1

[Socaltom]

[root@Arch Linux ARM install pyTivo]# umount /dev/sda1
umount: /dev/sda1: not mounted
[root@Arch Linux ARM install pyTivo]# tune2fs -L "drive1" /dev/sda1
tune2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
ext2fs_check_if_mount: Input/output error while determining whether /dev/sda1 is mounted.



[root@Arch Linux ARM install media]# mount /dev/sdc1
mount: can't find /dev/sdc1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

These drives don't appear to be listed in fstab. How do I add them?
Thanks

Unplug the drives, both of them.

Insert one, run this command: dmesg | tail
You will see the kernel spit out which device the drive got. sdb, sdc, etc. You should also see a listing of partitions such as sdb1 sdb2, or if there is just the one partition, just sdb1.

Type 'mount' and verify that the partition (we'll assume /dev/sdb1) isn't mounted. If it is, type 'umount /dev/sdb1' and then re-run 'mount' to be sure it's gone.

Then do 'tune2fs -L "YourNewLabel" /dev/sdb1' to assign a label to that partition. This is how the udev script will automount the drive under /media from now on. Unplug the drive, give it a couple seconds, plug it back in and check under /media. It should be there.

Repeat again starting with the next drive, following the same sequence. Replace /dev/sdb1 in commands with the actual partition name you are getting from dmesg.

I've got it all working now. Somewhere along the way, I made my USBstick unbootable, so I just reinstalled on my extra hard drive and now I have an 80G root drive and a 160G drive1. I'm using the home drives on the root drive and I have my videos on the 160G drive.
I suspect that part of my problem was that one of the drives is USB powered and has 2 usb connectors.
