I get the following, so it seems to see the disks, just wont mount them:

Ok looks like you may have to do this all manually.

Do the following: Please post the results.

This should reflect the partitions for all your additional disks. I see sdb1, but don't see sdc1, sdd1, sde1 as I would expect if there's data on those drives.

Doing this all manually won't be too difficult. I will post the steps once we sort out this piece.

Here are the results of ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid:

I'm a little concerned at the output. I don't see the partitions for the other disk.

To mount sdb1, do the following: Now you need to edit /etc/fstab and add this line: Once that is done, do: Providing there is no output, you should be able to see your files: If you want to use a different name than sdb, change in all the commands above.

You would do the same for all other drives. Odd that they are not reflected in the output. BTW, sda is your OS drive so don't mess with that one.

Check to ensure all the dependencies have been installed: Also might want to do a reboot too if you have not already.

I hope that helps. As for the other drives, can you check them on a different system to see if there is data? Don't know what they are not reflected otherwise. I'll see what else I can think of that might help.

Thanks for all your help. Unfortunately I still cant see files. I followed the steps and the result of "ls -al /var/hda/files/sdb"
is "ls: cannot access '/var/hda/files/sdb': No such file or directory". I will try to find another system to test the drives, but I dont have one handy at the moment.

Ok, not looking good so far.

Also try the following to show it's mounted: That should show all current drive mount points.

Here is the result. None of them are mounted. Have I somehow lost my partitions?

Looks like the one we manually mounted is there. So that's good. Not sure why you don't see files, but it's a start. The others are either not properly formatted or there is a bad connection with your board.

Weird in that the worked fine for years. I must have done something when upgrading Amahi to effect the partitions. I found an old USB drive that I can now plug the drives into on a windows box. Also downloaded an EXT utility for Windows - no partitions on any of the disks. SO now trying a recovery utility to see if I can recover the disks - all four could not have failed at once so must have been something during the install I did. I did not unplug them - lesson learned.

Oh no. That really stinks.

My guess is by not unplugging them, during the Fedora install they got wiped.

If that’s the case, recovery may not be possible. Always worth a shot though, as long as they did not get formatted.

Also ensure you check the drives for hidden directories/files.

Hope you are able to recover. Hard lesson to learn.

I always disconnect data drives when installing a new OS as a precaution.
