This has been making me nuts as some of you might know.
After playing with fuse mount, fuseiso and furiusiso my new 1TB drive wasn’t mounting automatically at boot.
I had to edit /etc/inittab to drop me in console so I could login as root and either manually mount /dev/sdc1 /home/landis/MyDocuments/Graphics/Photographs/PhotoBooks/ (you can imagine typing that could get old) or I found that if I ran #mount -a, mount would re-run the inittab and mount the dirve.
Then I could login as me (landis) and #startx…
Well, I was looking a /log/boot.msg and saw that the error to mount said:
mount: mount point /home/landis/MyDocuments/Graphics/Photographs/PhotoBooks/ does not exist
/dev/sdd1 on /home/landis/MyDocuments type ext3 (rw)
Well, it hit me. It’s Right, it’s trying to mount a drive (dev) that does not ‘exist’ yet…
/dev/sdd1 , /home/landis/MyDocs… needs to be mount before a drive who’s mount point is within it, /home/landis/MyDocs/… /… /PhotoBooks… duh…
So… In inittab, I inverted these two (2) lines and All was Fine!
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD10EARS-00Y5B1_WD-WCAV5U056115-part1 /home/landis/MyDocuments/Graphics/Photographs/PhotoBooks/ ext4 acl 1 2
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500JS-60NCB1_WD-WCANK4268603-part1 /home/landis/MyDocuments/ ext3 defaults 1 2
Anyways, thought it might help someone else.
