Hi,

Installed xbmc live 9.11 to usb stick

I have mounted 2 ntfs hdd (eg. sda1=movie1 & sdb1=movie2)
and I can see both hdd´s content....

updated to latest svn r31657 & latest nvidia driver 256.35

everything vent fine. But now when I look a my 2 hdd, they show the same
content (eg. sda1=movie1 & sdb1=movie1) ??

Reverting to 9.11 and all is good, again showing both hdd´s content.

Does somebody have a clue what I did wrong, because this cant be a bug, right?

Thanks

I seem to remember there was a change not so long ago in that XBMC now mounts hdds by UUID instead of device name. Seems like a long shot, but maybe your disks have the same UUID?

ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -l

UUID - Universally Unique Identifier

root@XBMCLive:~# ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-07-09 11:10 14F6188DB6E84C49 -> ../../sdb1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-07-09 11:10 6178C1DB15235EC8 -> ../../sda1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-07-09 11:10 74955ce7-ef02-4e29-8e08-e254d0258521 -> ../../sdc5

each hardware piece is unique, no need to change.
So thats not the problem.... Thanks though..

Tried to check my disks with df:
and you can see that both sda1/sdb1 looks the same, but they are not..... hmm

If you copied your df output right, they both got mounted on the same directory, that's why you're seeing only one content. I don't know what live uses to manage mountpoints, but that's likely the culprit.

I've seen a few of these posts lately. Try editing your fstab and manually setting your mount points for sda1 and sdb1, then reboot.

I am a total linux noob here...
would you mind to make an example of how to do that.
I looked at my fstab, and I have no clue....

fstab:

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# / was on /dev/sdc1 during installation
UUID=c82cbdfa-b5d2-4d2c-a928-5816d31854aa / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sdc5 during installation
UUID=74955ce7-ef02-4e29-8e08-e254d0258521 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

Don't look like your drives are listed, you would have to add them.

Something like this.

Code:

UUID=14F6188DB6E84C49 /media/movie1 ntfs defalt 0 0

You also need to create the directory /media/movie1

[cowfodder]

Yeah, what he said.

Sorry for the late followup, was on weekend.

success though.. Thanks for you help everyone.

I put together what I did, in case someone else is looking for the same.

------------------------------------
# ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -l

Shows your UUID of your devices
like example:

14F6188DB6E84C49 -> ../../sdb1
6178C1DB15235EC8 -> ../../sda1

Then:

# sudo mkdir /media/disk1

# sudo mkdir /media/disk2

# sudo nano -b /etc/fstab

Insert below in /etc/fstab:

UUID=14F6188DB6E84C49 /media/disk1 ntfs defalt 0 0

UUID=6178C1DB15235EC8 /media/disk2 ntfs defalt 0 0

save with ctrl X, press Y, Press ENTER

# sudo reboot
