Drives will not mount

Fixit7 · 06-28-2016, 06:13 PM

Here is what I get.

Quote:

# mount /mnt/sdb1
# mount /mnt/sdb1
mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /mnt/sdb1 busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /mnt/sdb1
#

I was mistaken about dd installing an iso to a flashdrive.

It worked with Just Lighthouse 64 bit.

Looks like sdb1 is mounting. Look at the output of the mount command to see if the rest are mounting.

None of others mount.

# mount /mnt/sdb2
mount: can't find /mnt/sdb2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
# mount /mnt/sdb5
mount: can't find /mnt/sdb5 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
# mount /mnt/sda2
mount: can't find /mnt/sda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
# mount /mnt/sda3
mount: can't find /mnt/sda3 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
#

Did you change the fstab entries for the other mount points?

Fixit7 · 06-28-2016, 07:12 PM

I corrected the quotes and the other error you pointed out.

michaelk · 06-28-2016, 07:15 PM

So is everything working now?

Fixit7 · 06-28-2016, 07:36 PM

No.

Could not install Just Lighthouse on my AMD system.

It had a pick in the installation for "Problem Radeon" cards, of which I have one.

Wondering if AMD is much harder to program for. :-)

When it's working, I'll do this.

Open fstab in your favorite editor and move the cursor after the last character of the last line. Now press the enter key.

Delete the double quote in this line

Now save the file and hopefully all will work.

I re-installed Slacko.

Every is working fine and all drives mount. :-)

I will manually mount drives instead of editing fstab.

Whatever fstab works with probably has some bugs.

Puppy Linux's package manager has some bugs that make you want to pull out your hair.

Sometimes un-installing a program fails and you have to get a list of files installed and delete them one by one. :-(

Thanks for your patience and help. :-)
