Having Problems Mounting my External Hard-Disk

Hi all! I have an external USB hard-disk ( Maxtor 500 GB). Up to a few weeks ago, I was able to mount it and access it properly on my Mandriva Cooker system. Recently, however I got this error: {{{ shlomi:~$ echo Before connecting the external disk Before connecting the external disk

Hi Shlomi Your /etc/fstab suggests that the usb hd isn't mounted automatically upon boot. So when you mount as root sometimes you can specify ext3 as filesystem and sometimes you don't need. I had this case once. This was solved. as root mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/external or mount -t ext3 /dev/sdd1

Hi all! I should note that after rebooting to my Debian partition, the external hard-disk is successfully mounted and I can see the partition. So it's likely a problem with the Mandriva kernel or something like that. I'll investigate. Regards, On Sat, Jul 25, 2009 at 9:40 PM, Shlomi
