I have:

1. Verified the system can see the drive with "fdisk -l".

2. Ran fsck on it with no problems.

However, the drive would not mount at boot nor with the "mount" command. However, it mounts immediately with "udiskctl mount -b <device>".

Hi, 1. this belongs onto bugzilla 2. Give the errors of the mount command, please Regards Oliver -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I don't know what to file here. The "mount" command completes silently with no error output on the console nor the journal log. It just doesn't mount the device, where as "udiskctrl mount -b <device>" works. Charles -- I did this 'cause Linux gives me a woody. It doesn't generate revenue.

Hi,

then this exact information needs to go into bugzilla.

Did you specify -v to get verbose output? -- vr.gr. Freek de Kruijf member openSUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Yes.

Charles Can you show us the fstab entry?

Sure, I have been using this line:

,----[ Exerpt from /etc/fstab ] | /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1WD_My_Book_1140_WCAZA8742496-part1 /data3 ext4 defaults,acl,user_xattr,nofail 0 2 `----

for years with no problems.

Does /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1WD_My_Book_1140_WCAZA8742496-part1 exist when you try to mount? maybe due to a bug in an update, the naming rules changed slightly and now there's a different ID pointing to the device in /dev/disk/by-id?

You are basically doing

# mount -o nofail /dev/no_such_device /data3 # echo $? 0

Remove the "nofail" option and try again ;-)

Yes, the "nofail" option makes it work or fail silently, no errors written.

As I wrote elsewhere [1] a few days ago: "should" is a good word to describe the difference between theory and practise ;-)

# mount -v -o nofail /dev/no_such_device /mnt # echo $? 0

Ah, yes, it doesn't say anything if the device does not exist: cer@Telcontar:~> grep photo /etc/fstab LABEL=bck_photos_1 /data/backup/photos xfs users,lazytime,noauto,nofail 1 4 LABEL=CAMERA_1 /mnt/photostick vfat noauto,shortname=mixed,user,users,uid=cer,gid=users,fmask=0117,dmask=0007 0 0 cer@Telcontar:~> mount -v /data/backup/photos cer@Telcontar:~> cer@Telcontar:~> mount -v /mnt/photostick mount: can't find LABEL=CAMERA_1 cer@Telcontar:~> I have to test for the mount actually hapening in some of my scripts.
