[Bug 153768] Re: External SATA (eSATA) removable disk not auto mounted
I have Ubuntu 12.04 desktop, and my newly external drive(ext4) connected to the computer through eSATA interface, is not automatically mounted when I turn it on. Manual mounting works ok. Would be nice to have it automatically mounted when turned on! I am planning to install the latest desktop LTS... i hope it will be auto mounted there! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153768 Title: External SATA (eSATA) removable disk not auto mounted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hal/+bug/153768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 153768] Re: External SATA (eSATA) removable disk not auto mounted
So I have an idea I'm working on to finally fix this. Udisks could be modified to look for a udev attribute that indicates the drive is connected via esata, and treat the drive correctly. This attribute could be imported from the parent ata port, if it is known that the port is an esata port. The udev hwdb could be configured to know that a specific port on specific known motherboards is esata. I'm still trying to sort out how to set up such a matching rule in the udev hdwb though since there doesn't seem to be a way to match on multiple requirements joined by AND rather than OR. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153768 Title: External SATA (eSATA) removable disk not auto mounted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hal/+bug/153768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 and what used to work perfectly now does not work. eSata drive connected, see in dmesg that partitions are detected but not automount when valid UUID entries are in /etc/fstab. Partitions mount when drive plugged in on system boot. Now have to manually mount partitions after post-boot connection. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153768 Title: External SATA (eSATA) removable disk not auto mounted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hal/+bug/153768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Marcin, I, too, would love to see your udev rule.

Hi Marcin, Would you please attach that udev file? We're interested in the differing use cases here, in particular how to determine which devices need to be automounted via udisks (such as backplane) and which need to be manually mounted or not mounted (root, SAN LUNs). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153768 Title: External SATA (eSATA) removable disk not auto mounted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hal/+bug/153768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think that you should remember that all SATA hdd's are hot-pluggable. So, the problem above not only affects users that want to attach HDD to eSATA port, but also backplane owners such as: http://www.chieftec.eu/en/accessories/sas-sata-backplanes/snt- 2131sata.html For me this is serious bug and I lost a lot of time studying and writing udev rule to automatically mount my HDD's in backplane. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153768 Title: External SATA (eSATA) removable disk not auto mounted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hal/+bug/153768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
