Amahi Forums

Having some trouble mounting my second hard drive.

I had it in my server for 10 minutes then removed it. Then, when I inserted it agaid and tried to mount, i get a blank UUID and it says it is already in fstab - however there are no entries in fstab for sdb1...

Any help will be appreciated. I think Amahi is a great product and I have already trashed my WHS in favour of Amahi. I used the express CD install and am running headless.

Regards
Milhem

I just went through this. It appears that Fedora likes to put drive in raid groups. You'll need to do some work to fix it. I wrote short blog post that might help. It's a bit thin at the moment, but take a look.

I'm having this problem (although it's drive #13).
cfdisk and mkfs ran without issue.

hda-diskmount: This drive is not present in fstab at all.

The first time I ran hda-diskmount, it seemed to mount fine, gave me the code to add to /etc/fstab which I did. I didn't check the drive was actually mounted though. Rebooted, and the drive was not mounted, so I removed it from fstab and ran hda-diskmount again. I'm guessing this is the root of my problem.

Following the recommendations in the link above:

cat /proc/mdstat: mdadm -zero-superblock /dev/sdg: Can anybody please help? I've had no issue with the other 12 drives, and this particular drive has not been in this system before.

Any help would be much appreciated, if anyone can!

Just so people know, I have sorted it, although I don't know which bit worked.

I pulled the drive, connected it to a windows machine, changed the uuid with diskpart, formatted, put it back in the HDA, ran through the usual steps and this time it worked fine. YMMV.
