So it seems like it is being detected. Everything beyond is out of scope of Armbian and userspace related.

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.

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

  fstab

 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.

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.

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. 

I have a similar situation with bananapi-m3. When I connect the hdd using a USB-SATA adapter,

the disk is first detected, and when accessing it, it suddenly disappears.
But I know exactly the reason for this behavior, since I worked with a soldering iron with this device.
The disk consumes 2.5 amps, and USB can give much less.


I do not know if this message of mine can help you.

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.

did you do systemctl daemon-reload as advised?

 

Did you create the /media/250hdd folder beforehand?

 

Can you comment out the fstab line, and try mount /dev/sda1 /media/hdd250 ?

 Yes to all and the Fstab is there. I was using the wrong UID part.

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?

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.

create a file dirsize.sh:

#!/bin/bash

for d in /*
do
	case $d in
		/dev|/proc|/sys) echo "Skipped $d ; continue ;;
	esac
	if [ -d $d ];then echo "$(du $d)";fi

chmod +x dirsize.sh - make it executable
