[opensuse] Mounting drives at boot
Have there been any updates within the last couple of days, to slow mounting of extra drives at boot, Or have I just done something that's broken it? For the last 2 days, when I boot my system, Firefox and Thunderbird (at least) don't load with the message that they're already running. But the problem is the partition that they're located on isn't mounting at boot, even though nothing has changed in fstab etc. If I immediately do a sudo mount -a, everything then works fine... Anybody having similar probs, or can suggest what I may have done....? Thanks, John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Are they already running or?

No, both their data is on a partition that's not mounted....
"their" data = user data? Obviously the binaries are accessible. It's a bit weird that firefox would claim it is already running if it actually isn't.
But the problem is the partition that they're located on isn't mounting at boot, even though nothing has changed in fstab etc. Check the boot log (/var/log/boot.msg) The only "mounting" type info in there is:

You ought to see at least the partition being listed - what do get with "grep sda /var/log/boot.msg" ?
There are actually a number of partitions that are not loading from fstab.
These are the results of the mount command, directly after boot, then after running mount -a:
Looks like sda6, sda7 and sda8 are not being mounted - those are presumably part of the extended partition sda5. I can't think of a reason they wouldn't get mounted. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-0.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hmmm - sda6 is the partition with Firefox/Thunderbird

Off to bed - tackle it tomorrow... Thanks, John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ah... of course. If that Dropbox was supplied by SUSE, you should create a Bugzilla against it. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
