Hi there,

i got two external hard drives attached to my Pi. Sometimes something at the boot fucks up and certain shows are not accessible anymore and marked as complete. The logs then just tell me stuff like

Has anyone similar experiences? And how can i get rid of it? Dont want to manually attach my drives at every boot.
Thank you

wild guess, you're using NTFS?

and LibreELEC?

NTFS is for windows, support is added to Linux but it's not native and creates any number of issues when being used with Linux
therefor when having issues on Linux when using NTFS it's really not surprising

EXT4 is the recommended format for Linux (at least my recommendation) and since native it should mount sooner


i couldn't find any posts regarding late mounting of drives in LibreELEC but there are any number of threads regarding waiting for drives on startup

as EXT4 is the best solution for Linux, the LibreELEC Forum is the best solution for LibreELEC - https://forum.libreelec.tv/
