I recently bought a BBG for use as a tiny NAS and print server. I installed a Debian Jessie image (for BBB) and ran updates. All X stuff was removed to save space and Samba installed.
When I plug in the external USB disk it is recognised and /dev/sda1 appears. I added this to /etc/fstab: UUID=F250C93950C904F7 /mnt/usbdrive ntfs-3g exec,noatime,nofail 0 0 This seems to work, the drive is mounted at boot time: /dev/sda1 on /mnt/usbdrive type fuseblk (rw,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096) However, after a random period of time and without touching the USB bus, the drive suddenly switches to /dev/sdb1. This is while the drive is online and an IP camera is continuously recording to it. Needless to say, it all comes to a sudden halt, as /dev/sda1 disappears. This must be something I am doing wrong. I have some experience running Linux systems as servers, but never had to deal with USB. I thought that perhaps the drive going to sleep when idle was a problem, so I hooked it up to my laptop and turned the sleep function off. It didn't help. Thanks for any light you may be able to shed on my problem. Kind regards, Peter. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
