New question #49158 on Ubuntu Eee: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+question/49158
I think I have answered my own question: I wanted to automount an external hard drive to my "minimal" 900A after installing Ubuntu Eee using Unetbootin. But...sticking in the USB cable brouth up a box saying "must be root to mount" etc. I looked at /etc/fstab, and it was: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sda1 UUID=439742cb-b0d5-47cb-816d-d0484b6c218e / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/sda5 UUID=b62ac456-cf92-4315-94d5-e81a2745aced none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 I think the last line above was the problem. I think Unetbootin left it and it is causing the system to see all USB mounts as iso9660. So I just commented it out, and whoopeee! my 120GB external drive mounts immediately on the USB. Hope this helps someone. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Eee Coders, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu Eee. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eee-coders Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eee-coders More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
