Oh and yeah. It helped alright. Drive is mounted. And maybe working ? I cannot say until I solve the stupidest thing about Linux mounting mystery. edit: yes it was the stupidest thing about Linux mounting. I unplugged the drive and there it was still a file downloaded. I. The folder target for the mount. Even though the System reports, as in the image, that the drive was mounted. Geez… That is stupid.

OK, I think it’s happening. Correct me if I’m wrong but the stupidest thing about linux mounting , is happening. I’m sending or a process is downloading and sending files to where sdb14 is mounted. Before you ask… it is mounted. I checked and it is noticiable in the image. . So it is constantly blocking my available space in the /dev/mmcblk0p2 which I assume is the System partition. That’s all I know. There is nothing else happening wich can hoard free space in the system. Up untill I started using that it started to happen. Or so I think. How can I find out? How can I Find out what is hoarding that free space in disc?

Yeah I pretty much figured it out by hearing it trying to spin and fail constantly When connected to it. But then again when I connected the same HDD with the same sata USB adapter to my Smart TV directly, It ran OK first try. So I’m waiting for this external powered 2 amp usb adapter and hope it’s enough. Thank you for your input. Yes to all and the Fstab is there. I was using the wrong UID part. Oukay thanks. What does this achieve?

I just realized that to mount some thing in Linux you make a folder and then you go on and mount your drive or partition in there. If for whatever reason it doesn’t mount right or it does but later it fails, that folder still exist there. If you don’t realize it failed you’re gonna put files in there and you’re gonna flood that system driver and then run out of space wich then will lead to boot failure. That is the stupidest thing I’ve realized about Linux.

OK so I managed to get a response or communication between the scanned device them getting these weird errors please take a look oh and I am also sharing the FSTAB entries for the disks which I think is OK https://paste.armbian.com/wavomulela fstab UUID=29139414-cf10-4d96-91c7-aa71da90d700 / ext4 defaults,noatime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 1 UUID=7612-3BF7 /boot vfat defaults 0 2 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid 0 0 UUID=9aa8342d-e41b-4faa-85ff-987d0eb39671 /media/250hdd ext4 rw,user,exec,nofail,umask=0000 0 0 mount -a mount: /media/250hdd: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. mount: (hint) your fstab has been modified, but systemd still uses the old version; use 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload. blkid /dev/mmcblk0p1: LABEL_FATBOOT="armbi_boot" LABEL="armbi_boot" UUID="7612-3BF7" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="76f4bd06-01" /dev/mmcblk0p2: LABEL="armbi_root" UUID="29139414-cf10-4d96-91c7-aa71da90d700" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="76f4bd06-02" /dev/zram1: LABEL="log2ram" UUID="9a014cf4-3774-4ba7-92e5-9f3e293739de" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" /dev/zram0: UUID="1d241a44-4e41-4d07-90c0-00f6074c24ab" TYPE="swap" /dev/sda1: LABEL="250hdd" UUID="9aa8342d-e41b-4faa-85ff-987d0eb39671" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="76f4bd06-01"

Oh yes I did w this one. I didn’t see the point for the other user. Ha!

A recent install of mine greets me with just a “last login” line. No box. Weird. Why is that?

Yeah, I saw that too. But you see it does not respond. Nvertheless, it does respond on all other systems. It does respond on my laptop Ubuntu, is mounted fine, It does mount fine on android tv. It does respond. It’s alive. Armbian isn’t responding with it. That’s why I am here.

It’s not like that. Armbian in some cases does not detect connected USB hard drives. Only flash drives or microSD. That’s why I shared the link. If you don’t want to help, don’t. You’re not obligated to comment.

How to mount a usb hard disk drive? I’m trying to set a NAS-like system on a TvBox. Share an HDD over samba. https://paste.armbian.com/xuvobugato
