Hey Group; I have notices a strange thing about mounting my usb HD. It is a 16G sort of older HD in a USB shell. It will not mount on the first two or three reboots. Then on the forth time it does. Also I have noticed that I just leave it on 24/7 it mount about all the time. lsusb shows that it is seen in all cases. I have rerun boot.coldplug after a reboot and it still fails. When it works it work great.
