USB hard drives messing up after shutdown on Revo
#1
Hi, I have an Acer Revo with XBMC Live installed on it, with most of my media on two external usb hard drives. I have these drives mounted to the home folder, but whenever I reboot the machine, they will not remount correctly. I can fix this by going into the terminal and using "sudo umount -a" and "sudo mount -a". The drives then will show up, but this is a pain. Has anyone had this issue before? How did you resolve it? I am very new to linux in general by the way.

I believe if you edit Fstab to auto mount the drive it should resolve ur issues

I have my fstab set up like such

Quote:UUID=ECE6D3E1E6D3A9DA /home/user/hitachi ntsf-3g defaults 0 0
UUID=7076F42C76F3F128 /home/user/hdd2 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

I found the UUID using the blkid command in terminal. Is this the correct way to go about setting up the fstab file? Also, when I turn the computer on in XBMC a popup will appear announcing the unsafe removal of both of my hard drives. This appears a few minutes after the machine has booted up. Is it possible I'm turning the computer off in correctly? I usually either use the "sudo reboot" command or physically press the power button on the revo if xbmc is hung. Any chance that might be the source of these unsafe removals?
