Yeah, can't really explain why either...

I've tried changing pretty much everything in /etc/fstab to no effect, another weird thing is that the system can boot without /etc/fstab being present... Though only the ROOT partition gets mounted. Any Ideas? (Ignore the *s, they are so that the # appears instead of lemmy enlarging the text)

Any reason to mount them under /run/media from fstab ? Do they mount correctly when mounted manually?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dunno, genfstab generated it like this, and what fixed it is moving them from mounting on /run/media to mounting on /mnt

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think that's because /run is a virtual filesystem, like /proc or /sys. It only mounts after a certain point during the boot process. /mnt or any directory under your home dir should work.

Is there a reason you have backslashes in your mount point there or is that just a typo from posting here?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Dunno, that's how gparted named it, the actual name of it is "2TB HDD P2"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Try commenting out that one drive and see if the others work. It may be hanging on that one drive and ignoring the others because they come after it.
