artefactom Posted September 1 Author Share Posted September 1 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artefactom Posted September 1 Author Share Posted September 1 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a version for download here: https://www.armbian.com/uefi-x86/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artefactom Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertoj Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 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 ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artefactom Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 (edited) On 10/19/2024 at 1:26 PM, going said: The disk consumes 2.5 amps 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. On 10/19/2024 at 1:34 AM, robertoj said: did you do systemctl daemon-reload as advised?

robertoj Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 If /media does not exist, if you type mkdir -p /media/usbdrive, it will not complain about /media not there, and create that folder too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artefactom Posted 20 hours ago Author Share Posted 20 hours ago 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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
