Hello,
Today I added an external usb disk drive and set it to mount automatically. I rebooted my HDA after I did all that, but now can't see my HDA via OpenVPN or SSH. I can't see it in my control panel on Amahi.org either. I can ping it with success and had my wife reboot the server a few times since I could not access it.
Would auto mounting an external HDD cause something like this? I follow the rsnapshot wiki to mount the drive.
Thanks,
Ed
Added auto mount external USB, now cant see HDA remotely
Re: Added auto mount external USB, now cant see HDA remotely
Yes.
You likely have broken the HDA. The server is probably booting in to emergency/maintenance mode. You should follow the Amahi wiki for mounting drives.
This will require booting the HDA using a Live CD and removing the drive configuration you added.
We cannot be much help. You should be able to find guidance on the internet.

Awe man, no way!! I followed the Amahi wiki on mounting external drives and setting up rsnapshot. Only got to the auto mount section and rebooted once I edited the fstab file.
Bummer!!

Which guidance did you follow? It may have been outdated.I followed the Amahi wiki on mounting external drives and setting up rsnapshot.
I always recommend you check the mount before rebooting by doing:
Code: Select all
sudo mount -a
Unfortunately this is how we learn not what to do. It can still be repaired, but you need to remove the offending line from /etc/fstab.

This is what I referenced:
https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Rsnapshot
Followed through the auto mount instruction.
How do you check for proper function after you run "mount -a"? Go to the directory and add a file or something?
Can I use the CD I used to install fedora? I made the CD using one of the links in the latest Amahi 9 installation instruction set. If so, I'm guessing that will allow me to access the fstab file and delete the "LABEL=usbdisk...." line from it?
Thanks

Not sure, but that guidance may be outdated. It was created 3+ years ago. I added a note to the page for future reference.This is what I referenced:

Yes that is one way. Make sure it performs as you would expect.ow do you check for proper function after you run "mount -a"? Go to the directory and add a file or something?
No. You need to get a Live CD, such as Ubuntu.Can I use the CD I used to install fedora?
Yes once you mount the OS drive, you should be able to edit the file.I'm guessing that will allow me to access the fstab file and delete the "LABEL=usbdisk...." line from it?
