[Solved]Can't mount external hdd at boot!
Hi!
I'm trying to mount my new external hdd (Lacie USB2) at boot, but without success.
To avoid random device name (sdx, sdy), I would like to use UUID in my fstab file.
I've read this wiki.
I think my configuration is ok, but there's an error at boot saying "Device with UUID xxxxxxxx doesn't exist, can't mount it", or something like that.
Here are some commands:
[eko@nodrom ~]$ fdisk -l

And my fstab file:

Could someone help me?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
But even with /dev/disk/by-uuid/6853-5BA9 in my fstab file, it fails to automount it.
It says "Special device with UUID=6853-5BA9 does not exist".
The weird thing is that I can mount it manually without problems.
(In fact, that's not true, I've the same problem than steven. May it be a kernel-related problem?)
Or maybe there's a fault in the rest of my fstab line? (iocharset, guid, etc?)
In the case of a kernel related bug, how could I downgrade it?
I've tried with "pacman -U kernel26-2.6.21.6-1.pkg.tar.gz" in /var/cache/pacman/pkg but it broke my xorg server at reboot.

[SOLVED]Problems auto-mounting External HDD via fstab entry
Hello!
I recently set up TimeShift, a backup tool, and I have it set to store the snapshots onto an external HDD. I would like the program to make a snapshot once daily and to do this I would have to mount the external manually.
So I looked up instructions on how to add an external HDD to my fstab. It worked, I got the harddrive to mount at boot, however it then disabled my belkin usb-hub (which has my mouse and keyboard plugged into it). I ran the following commands to add the external to my fstab...
sudo mkdir /run/media/disco/backup
and then I had to find the path to external by running
mount
found the line I was looking for which was
/dev/sdb1 on /run/media/disco/fcf1f0b0-d756-41d6-a7c8-2ab7d009be2e type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,data=ordered,uhelper=udisks2)
So I edited my fstab to the following
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sda1 UUID=a2ba860f-a990-4c75-879b-1138d941857d
/dev/sda1 / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
# /dev/sda2 UUID=43fab9a6-904a-4c2e-8362-d2205ef6bbe2
/dev/sda2 none swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /run/media/disco/backup auto auto,user,rw,exec 0 0
I reverted back to the fstab that doesn't have the last line, and my belkin usb-hub works again. I'm just curious if I'm doing something wrong, or if I need additional steps that I am missing.
Any help is appreciated, please and thank you! (:

/mnt/
The /run directory is used by runtime applications as, say, a temporary working directory usually meant to be accessed by other applications as a way of IPC (unlike /tmp which is used as general dump for mostly private volatile data, temporary caches, etc.) The /run directory is usually a tmpfs meaning it only exists in memory and gets deleted on reboot. This is most likely the reason it didn't work for you.
Also, you may want to change the /dev/sdb1 dev node in fstab to a UUID entry so that there is no confusion in case of different block device node gets assigned to the drive (such as if it gets connected after some other storage drive, being it another USB drive, an SD card, or anything else). -
Can't mount external HDD? "usb 1-1: Device not accepting address"
I just bought a Medion HDDRIVE2GO (Full Speed) from Aldi, and at first when I plugged it in, everything went fine (well, I thought so). Appearently it had some errors with HAL not being able to read the HDD (error name="(unset)").
I gave it a reboot, and now it does not work at all! In dmesg, I have this output (the bottom is the most important I guess)

"rmmod ehci_hcd" made it work for some of these guys Which one of them explains It's a data speed issue. Cables.., 2.0 1.0, that sort of things. Read it, I bet you'll get more out of it, It's old though.
Try removing the module, plugging the drive, check dmesg, and mount manually.

Mac won't mount external HDD since 10.8.4 update
Hi All
I'm fairly new to Mac (3mths) so still finding my feet...hopefully someone is able to help me here!
Hardware:
MBP 2.7Ghz running (now) Os 10.8.4
WD HD5000D032-000 (the old drive)
3TB WD Red (the new drive)
Solutions tried to the problem (described in detail below):
- restart Mac
- restart eHDD
- different USB and power cables for eHH
- different Mac(mini)
- removed eHDD from stock housing and used SATA docking station
- bought new HDD and used with SATA docking station
Now to the detail of my problems:
I've had a WD 500GB external HDD for about 8yrs. Formatted FAT32. Used with PC/Win laptop no issues.
Switched to Mac and no issues at all. However after a recent trip to Japan I plugged in the HDD to back up all the photos and vids I'd taken (I took my Mac with me to download off the the various SD cards,etc), the HDD plugged in and booted fine as normal and file transfer was initiated. The folder was large (don't recall how much but a few GB at least). Everything seemed to be progressing fine so left both Mac and HDD plugged in and carried on watching tv. Noticed a few mins later that an error message had popped up saying disk could not be found (or something similar).
HDD was no longer visible. Therefore I unplugged and reconnected and.... nothing. I can see the HDD in Disk Utility but it's not mounted. Options to verify/repair disk are greyed out. At this point I tried using different cables and USB ports and still no improvement. I've also tried restarting both Mac and HDD.
A few hours of reading forum posts suggested the HDD housing may be the culprit as it was quite old and prone to failing. As I'd tried all else, I went out and bought a SATA docking station and removed the HDD from its stock housing. This yielded the same results - I can see the HDD clearly in Disk utility but can't mount or verify/repair.
I then tried plugging into mate's Macmini running and older Osx and this time, the verify/repair options are available. Tried them and result was disk could not be repaired by Disk Utility. I still couldn't mount the drive and access any files though.
I had been planning on setting up a NAS anyway so ordered a new 3TB eHDD (WD Red) which arrived yesterday. I plugged it in using the docking station ni order to format it to FAT32 so that I could at least download my data from my Mac (and then subsequently look to recover all the data from the old eHDD) but the option 'MS-DOS File System' isn't available in the drop down in Disk Utility/Erase.
All the steup guides on formatting HDDs using Mac suggest that I should have this option in order to format as FAT32. All I see are 3 types of 'MS-DOS (extended)' and 'exFAT'.
The twist:
All this time I just assumed that it was the hardware acting up but the fact that the new HDD isn't recognised properly either made me wonder. I remember updating the OS to 10.8.4 whilst I was away in Japan and connected to wifi. I presumed that any update that was pushed down to me was good to go - could I be wrong??
I've also noticed that my wifi sometimes takes a while to connect / disconnects by itself and skype repeatedly drops calls. From more reading around, I see that these are some issues people have experienced since updating to 10.8.4.
So could my HDD issues be being caused by 10.8. 4 as well?!
I'm out of ideas so now wondering whether I should try and roll back the 10.8.4 update but I've not idea whether this is safe/easy to do, etc...
Any help would be VERY much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!

Trying to mount external HDD, problems arise
Been trying to mount my external HD but it's not playing ball. Firstly, I can't work out what my setup is naming it in /dev, partly because I'm getting inconsistent readings of available space on my internal HD.
If I run
df
when the external HD isn't plugged in, I get the following output:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 7662396 2662828 4615216 37% /
/dev 1024816 0 1024816 0% /dev
run 1027740 204 1027536 1% /run
/dev/sda3 7662396 2662828 4615216 37% /
shm 1027740 0 1027740 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 1027740 8 1027732 1% /tmp
/dev/sda1 99590 17903 76468 19% /boot
/dev/sda4 152576072 2634200 142302968 2% /home
I figured that if I plug it in and run the command again, something new should pop up and I can thus figure out what's where. However, the above reading doesn't even make sense.
Firstly, there's sda1, 2 & 3. I only have two partitions on my hard drive (one for /, one for /home). I also have a swap. Yet reading the available spaces, there's four different places (going on size); 1027740, 99590, 152576072 & 7662396.
My internal hard drive is only about 160 gig.
If I open thunar and view the properties for /, I get the following:
Size: 106764 items, totalling 128.0 TB
Free Space: 4.4 GB
From memory, the partition allocation for / was 10 gig, so the free space reading is presumably correct, but the 128 TB reading is bizarre. My external hard drive is 1TB, so it can't be that it's adding together / & the ex. HDD to get that estimate (if it is, it's worse at maths than I am); plus it gives the same estimate regardless of whether or not the ex. HDD is attached to my PC.
If I run:
lsusb
with my external HDD attached, it registers just fine (OK, it gets the size wrong, but it's better than nothing)
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1058:1021 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. Elements 2TB
Anyone got any ideas about what's going wrong and how I can amend things?
(this is the first time I've had a Arch setup -previously ran Crunchbang- so I acknowledge that I may just have missed something I should have installed/configured)
Insights much appreciated :-)Throne777 wrote:

Ohhh, pmount worked a treat ^ ^
Any way to get it mount it automatically when I log in?
mm..I guess you can put it in your ~/.xinitrc file
but put the line before the DE/WM invocation line.
so, if you use say, use lxde and have a line like
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startlxde
in your .xinitrc,
put the 'pmount device' line before that.
Edit. if u want to put it in ~/.bashrc, you'll have to start a bash terminal at least once after you log in to get it mounted.
Hmm, pmount isn't working as well as I thought.
It won't let me transfer files from my hard drive to the external; says it isn't permitted. If I open thunar as root and try to change the groups read/write permissions it says the operation isn't supported (though I myself have read/write access apparently :s).
Edit: Typo
pmount is just a wrapper, it calls the standard mount program to actually do the work, without the need to have an entry in fstab. Let's first make sure that you can mount and use the drive with the standard old-fashioned mount. When we get that to work, switching should be just a matter of using correct pmount options or doing some minor tweaks.
From what you linked, I assume you are using ext filesystem, which should make things a lot easier. If you're using something else, you need to let us know.
First things first, lets start from the beginning. Umount the drive and set permissions on the empty directory you're mounting it into back to root (or just remove it and recreate it as root). This is not essential, just doing that so we know the current state of things.
Second, mount the drive with simple mount /dev/sdx /mnt/mountpoint Obviously you need to change the device and mountpoint to whatever's appropriate. This *should* work. Logged in as root, try to create a directory inside, and for example copy something into this new directory, to make 100% sure that the drive is correctly mounted. If you get past this point and everything works, then this all is most likely just a case of botched permissions. You can't write into it as a user yet, but we now know that it can be correctly mounted.
Third, find out your user uid, and your primary group gid. Simply type 'id' into terminal logged in as regular user you want to mount the drive with, if it's the only user you created shortly after system installation, then most likely your uid will be 1000 and gid of users group will be 100. Now umount the drive, and re-mount it with running as root mount -o uid=1000,gid=100 /dev/sdx /mnt/mountpoint Again, change everything as appropriate. You now should be able to write new files and directories onto your drive as your normal user. You still may not be able to edit files already stored in if permissions were set wrong, but that can be changed, as we discussed before.
If this all works, then you can use your drive without any problems, and one line in your fstab will mean that you can mount the drive as user without even needing pmount. Please verify everything works first, if it does we can help you with that as well if you need it. And sorry if I'm being too thorough, just trying to avoid any mistakes
edit: to avoid any confusion, this is more or less a test. When mounting ext partitions you shouldn't have to set things like uid, gid or umask. Those options are primarily meant for filesystems which don't use this kind of permission setting, like vfat or ntfs. But it should move us a little bit further.

I am new to macs in general and have recently gotten the intel iMac as well as the Western Digital Studio Edition externall HDD.
While I am not having any of the many problems I find others are having from reading forum posts concerning this particular drive, I did want to ask a question as I am not sure if my trouble is the drive itself of my lack of knowledge concerning macs.
When using apps such as Carbon Copy Cloner 3, I find that the program is not able to find the external HD when no users are logged onto the mac. However, the documentation for the program states that no user is required to be logged in for it to run. Should CCC run scheduled backups to this drive when no one is logged in? After a user log off is (should) the external HD still mounted?
Thanks,Wow, thanks for the quick reply!
Ok, the drive is connected and on and the computer is scheduled (under system prefs) to wake at a time that is at least 10 mins before the scheduled CCC backup.
Under the CCC docs (particularly at http://www.bombich.com/software/docs/CCCHelp/content/scheduler.html under "What if?...") I understood it to mean that no users had to be logged on for the backup to occur.
As you did not further clarify the mounting of an external drive in general, am I to assume that after having been logged in and seen that an external HDD is mounted, when logging off it will remain mounted if not ejected first? I'm just asking regarding the operation of a mac in general.
Thanks again, -
Can't Mount External SCSI to USB Drive
Hi guys- I currently have a problem involving an external scsi to usb drive that I can't mount. I tried the usual commands, fdisk -l, mount, lsblk, to discover the device but it's not showing up in /dev.
I ran lsusb -v and one section shows "mass storage" and since I don't have any other mass storage devices attached other than my /dev/sda, my guess is that this is the device. Below is the output of lsusb -v, how can I use this info to get this device mounted?

I'm using the latest kernel. The device is a macally Hi-Speed USB 2.0 external drive enclosure. Yesterday my BIOS was detecting it, and later that night I actually mounted the device with mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/drive_2, I fired up the computer today and it's not there anymore, not in BIOS, not in the OS. This thing is acting very buggy and It's starting to scream hardware issues. There is a blue light on the enclusure that tells you when everything is okay, but now the light is red. Plus I can't hear the drive spinning.
arobson- I tried your suggestion and ran udevil monitor and a message popped up "Monitoring activity from the disks daemon. Press Ctrl+C to cancel." Then I plugged in the drive but I'm not sure what's supposed ot happen. I didn't get any messages after that.
Sorry to waste your time on this one guys. -
Mounting external USB at boot on ppc mac mini 10.4 Tiger
Hello,
I'm trying to find out the best way to mount an external USB HD on boot, on Tiger. The default behaviour of the system is to mount external devices when a specific user logins. That's smart, because in theory we don't need to lose time mounting the device on boot first, and secondly MacOSX will mount the external device using the user's specific permissions to access the data.
My problem is that I don't want to wait for a login, I want to mount the external device as soon as the system starts. The system is a mac mini tiger 10.4.11 with macports installed. I manage it via "Remote Desktop" and (mostly) ssh.
I'm thinking about creating a wrapper and a launchd (plist) file.
Is there another way, using the kinda weird fstab syntax on using cli commands like "automount"?
Thanks in advancehttps://discussions.apple.com/message/2511748#2511748

This is a weird one. I have an external HDD that is visible in System Profiler, but nothing else sees it: not CCC, not Disk Utility, not Disk Warrior, not the Finder. Nothing sees it except System Profiler.
I've tried every possible way of connecting the drive: FW, USB, daisy chained, not daisy chained, direct to the iMac, through a hub. Nothing.
I do know that the drive is formatted. But in any case, wouldn't at least one of these apps be able to grab it? I don't care about anything that might be on it. Just want to format and use it.

[SOLVED] Can't mount my root file system on boot!
Posting from an Ubuntu install on the same machine.
So, my root partition, labeled "arch", is ext4 on /dev/sda5. My home partition is btrfs on /dev/sda1.
When I boot, I get this error:
http://imgur.com/mzmLIZH
Not sure what to do from there. I can mount everything and chroot into arch from my ubuntu installation, so I think the FS is ok.
[edit]
here is the fstab:
tmpfs tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
LABEL=arch / ext4 rw,relatime,discard,noatime 0 1
LABEL=home /home btrfs rw,relatime,discard,noatime 0 2

Can't mount /var/lock at boot time [SOLVED]
I set up my fstab to mount /tmp /var/run and /var/lock to tmpfs. When I boot my computer /var/lock does not mount correctly. If I use mount -a after boot it mounts. How can I fix this?
Last edited by namelessone (2010-12-05 01:49:30)dmesg doesn't show anything out of the ordinary. During boot I get the message along the lines of "failed to mount /var/lock" (it goes by really fast so I don't remember the exact wording)
fstab says:
tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs defaults,nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=1777,size=10m 0 0
tmpfs /var/run tmpfs defaults,nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=0755,size=10m 0 0
/dev/mapper/vol-var /var jfs defaults, noatime 0 1

Can I use an external HDD for Boot Camp?
I've got the new MacBook. So, I'm gonna be short on space if I allocate space from the in built Hard Disk or ssd whatever you want to call it..
Is it in any way possible to set up the windows account with an external hard drive(with USB 3)? Or can I use time capsule(or whatever their external hard disk is called) as an external drive for windows?
Since I'll mostly be playing games in windows, I'll need decent space there too...FaceLord wrote:
I'm not sure you're numbers are quite right. I have Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit installed right now with Service Pack 1 on my bootcamp partition. I've also got Steam and Deus Ex: Human Revolution installed. Steam and the game occupy 8.47GB of space. Total space occupied on the disk is 21.2 GB, which means Windows is taking 12.73 GB. So I'd say the system requirements of 16GB for 32bit and 20GB for 64bit definitely include cache and paging, and also account for service packs and drivers.
You could easily get by with 20GB minimum space for bootcamp.
Take a moment and read the posts on this site, users who installed Windows in a 30G or less partition come here regularly trying to find the easy way to make it larger. We'll help you when you need the space.
Windows 7 should not be installed in less than a 40G partition, larger if the drive is an SSD. -
[SOLVED] can't mount USB external drive since udev upgrade to systemd
At somepoint in time around the June 1 change from udev to systemd or the change from udisks to udisks2 something has changed the way my external USB drives auto-mount.
I have always just plugged them in and they show up in PacmanFM just fine. Now, they do show up but the NTFS drive is showing as read-only and another empty drive that I have reformatted using GParted to xfs, then ext2, and finally again using ext4 gives "Permission Denied" errors when I try to put a file on the drive. Happens no matter how I format it.
Did something change that I need to manually configure? Up to this point I relied on udev just kind of doing its thing - I never had to configure anything to get these drives to work properly.
Last edited by AyeCapn (2012-06-26 15:15:59)Perhaps the cause of my issue might be relevant:
While the now deleted udev automount script from the Arch Wiki had worked for months without issue, approximately since the udev/systemd merger it became broken for NTFS partitions on USB devices.
It still worked with the classic initscripts, but with systemd it only resulted in "Transport endpoint is not connected" for the supposed mount point and ls reported lots of "?" for it. -
[Solved] Can't mount internal, or external, partitions in Thunar.
Hello.
After my most recent full system update, I seem to e missing the ability to mount partitions, and drives, through Thunar.
I'm running a minimal Openbox, with Thunar, desktop.
I haven't uninstalled anything, and here's my '/etc/xdg/openbox/environment' file with the settings I used.
# Set system-wide environment variables here for Openbox
# User-specific variables should be placed in $HOME/.config/openbox/environment
# To set your language for displaying messages and time/date formats, use the following:
#LANG=en_CA.UTF8
# To set your keyboard layout, you need to modify your X config:
# http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+set+keyboard+layout+xorg
# User added
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
Yes, dbus is still enabled in the daemons, and I have gvfs installed.
EDIT;
Bit by bit, I started to try reinstalling all the auto-mount related packages unsuccessfully, but then I got impatient.
I probably should have done it sequentially, but I forced reinstalled (pacman -Sf *) these dbus packages. After doing those, everything is back to normal.
dbus-core-1.4.16-1-x86_64
dbus-1.4.16-1-x86_64
dbus-glib-0.98-1-x86_64

I had a similar problem with an internal SATA drive. This is what helped me out:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ud … ormal_user
I had to install udisks and create the policy as described in the wiki page.
To allow other users to write on the disk i logged in as root and changed the permissions to the drive in Thunar.
thanks man it did the trick... thanks so much.
now i realize that i could easily find this on the wiki like you but didn't know what to look for.....very confused by devices managing since there are many programs that does similar things: hal,dbus,policy,udev,udisks,etc.....

[SOLVED]failure to mount external usb drive, possible hardware malfu
Please excuse me for posting this in the Arch forums, but I'd appreciate at least a point in the right direction. Every Google hit I came up with had a dubious solution like "reinstall USB drivers". I've never had an external drive fail on me yet, and I think this might be a sign of one. I recently moved and set up a 750gb WD external drive connected to this laptop running Arch and WinXP. Drive was working fine until this morning. I see it's entry in Thunar, but when I try to mount it:
Failed to mount "xxx".
WARNING: Couldn't set locale to 'en_PH.utf8' thus some file names may not
be correct or visible. Please see the potential solution at
http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#locale
Error opening '/dev/sdb1': Permission denied
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Permission denied
Please check '/dev/sdb1' and the ntfs-3g binary permissions,
and the mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at
http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged.
I got an entirely different error msg in Arch before, suggesting a chkdsk but I don't remember beyond that.
In Windows, I get USB device not recognized. I've tried turning the thing off and back on, making sure it's connected and swiping cables, rebooting Arch, nothing. Is it fried? Also, how does one even run a chkdsk on a drive that can't be mounted in Windows?
Thanks for the assistance.
