diskmount2 - Unable to find/automount 3rd drive

Hello,

I have setup my HDA with an 80GB drive for system and two 1TB drives that I want to use with greyhole.

Having followed the tutorial I have managed to get one of the TB drives to automount but diskmount2 is not listing the 3rd.

I am able to mount the drive using the GUI. The two TB drives are connected to a PCI SATA card.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

What format are your hard drives (NTFS, FAT, HFS+, ext3/4)?

(I'll assume ext3/4.)

This is the command used to list available partitions:

Code: Select all

fdisk -l 2> /dev/null | grep -i 'Linux' | egrep -v 'swap|LVM'
Are both your hard drives listed there?

Next, see if they are mounted:

Code: Select all

mount
And finally, check if they appear in /etc/fstab:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/fstab
For hda-diskmount2 to see and mount them, they need to be listed by fdisk, but not be mounted and not appear in fstab.
