EDG-Nemesis 2.4 image mounting ext Hdd

[denver1]

Have recently upgraded to EDG-Nemesis 2.4 Image, have mounted the internal Harddrive to (Media/Hdd). I'am unable to mount my external hard drive via any of the USB port. Prior to upgrade my EDG-Nemesis image automounted my external harddrive with no problems. Request assistance in mounting external harddrive. Memory USB sticks automount with no problems

my problem was the memory sticks are not been seen by my 8000 no matter what i do with same image!

Mount it manually on /etc/fstab file

run: fdisk -l and see which device is your external drive i.e /dev/sde1 or sdf1

Then edit the file /etc/fstab within ftp and add this line:

/dev/sdxx /media/hdd ext3 defaults 0 0

save file and reboot and see if it automounts to /media/hdd

 

[denver1]

Edited fstab file and add extra (/dev/sde1/media/hdd ext3 defaults 0 0)line as instructed, still unable to mount ext hdd.

 

[Jahu]

Did you put a space between /dev/sde1 (space) /media/hdd?

 

[denver1]

No I did not insert the (space) after sde1. Re-edited the fstab file and inserted the space, save and rebooted receiver. Still unable to mount ext hdd.
Using ftp and running telnet (fdisk -1 (responce is invalid option)

 

[Jahu]

It's fdisk -l so L

Here is mine:

fdisk -l

Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 0+ 19456 19457- 156288352 83 Linux

So my Internal HDD is on /dev/sda1

Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System
/dev/sdf1 0+ 1020 1021- 7817793 83 Linux

So my ext USB is /dev/sdf1

 

[denver1]

Result of fdisk -l:-
Devise boot St End Block Id System
/dev/sda1 1 60801 488384028+ 83 Linux

/dev/sdf1 1 969018 488385040+ b Win95 FAT32

Amended file fstab extra line to read sdf1, saved and re-boot.
Still unable to mount with Disk Manager.
Could the problem be cause by hard disk operating system Win 95 ??

 

[Jahu]

Do you have anything important in hard-disk? If not than format it to Linux ext3.

mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdf1

than reboot and see

It will take 10min to format.

 

[denver1]

Reference re-format command mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdf1, is the command via dcc telnet ??

 

[Jahu]

Yes buddy.

 

[denver1]

Reformat ext hdd as instructed with the following fdisk result:-
/dev/sdf1 1 969021 488386580 83 linux
Using HDD Disk manager still unable to mount at sdf1

 

[Jahu]

Is your /dev/sda1 already mounted as HDD, since you have two devices listed from fdisk -l?

/dev/sdf1 should be seen as USB, did you add it to /etc/fstab now?

 

[denver1]

confirmed /dev/sda1 is already monted as HDD.
In HDD Manager it is seen as USB back upper. Where do i insert it in /etc/fstab ??

 

[Jahu]

If /dev/sda1 is your internal HDD than that drive is already mounted as /media/hdd, so to mount /dev/sdf1 as your external drive you need to create a folder first, since /media/usb is taken by your usb stick:


mkdir /media/usbhdd

Than do a :

mount /dev/sdf1 /media/usbhdd

and see if you can see it the external drive in /media/usbhdd.


If all good then insert in your /etc/fstab your external USB HDD:

/dev/sdf1 /media/usbhdd ext3 defaults 0 0


Confirm that you can see your USB Stick in /media/usb and Internal HDD in /media/hdd.

mkfs.ext2 -I 128 -b 4096 -L RECORD /dev/sdf1
or
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdf1


Ext3 Windows does not know.

Entered mkdir /media/usbhdd.
Ater entering mount/dev/sdf1 /media/usbhdd (responce was..mount/dev/sdf1 not found).
On sat receiver HDD Manager observed the ext hdd automounted to media/oas. Check movie playback working satisfactory using media player. For some reason after entering command mkdir /media/usbhdd the receiver automounted the external hdd to media/oas.
Thanks for your help ingetting my ext usb hdd to work.
