[opensuse-factory] Problem Mounting USB Hard Drive on Boot
Hello all, I am having problems mounting my USB external hard drive at boot time for the past few snapshots. The drive have an entry in my fstab and I have no problem mounting it for years. A manual mount with the "mount" command (which, IIRC, uses systemd-mount now) doesn't work either and produce no errors in the systemd log journal. However, I have no problems mounting it with "udisksctl mount -b <device>". What could be the problem? Thanks.

Hi Carlos,
Did you look at the logs?
Yes.

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.

1. this belongs onto bugzilla 2. Give the errors of the mount command, please
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.

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?

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