mount external disks with udev

[nepo]

hi

orangepi 2e+ with ARMBIAN 5.65 stable Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 4.14.84-sunxi

syslog

I want to mount my external hard disks with

cat /etc/udev/rules.d/91-intenso.rules 
KERNEL=="sd?1", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="31700000000000007023", SYMLINK+="Intenso", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/mount /dev/Intenso /mnt/Intenso"

Normally no problem, tested with Armbian_5.65_Orangepiplus2e_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113 and Workstation PC Linux 4.15.0-43-generic #46~16.04.1-Ubuntu.

With my current version, I have a problem. The udev-rule is/seem ok 

Spoiler

But

But If I mount manually

Where is my fault ?

hi

I have upgraded my SD-version Armbian_5.65_Orangepiplus2e_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.11 to mainline aka 4.14.70 Armbian 5.60

 

et voila the system mount my harddisk. It seems not to be  a problem with the mainline-kernel.

 

So, Where are the differences ?

xenial vs bionic or/and  Armbian 5.60 vs Armbian_5.65

hi

 

Unfortunately no solutions for my udev-problem, but a small workaround to implement my external hard disks.

 

Mount with fstab and nofail option fstab

Quote

External devices

External devices that are to be mounted when present but ignored if absent may require the nofail option. This prevents errors being reported at boot. For example:

/etc/fstab

/dev/sdg1 /media/backup jfs nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1 0 2

The nofail option is best combined with the x-systemd.device-timeout option. This is because the default device timeout is 90 seconds, so a disconnected external device with only nofail will make your boot take 90 seconds longer, unless you reconfigure the timeout as shown. Make sure not to set the timeout to 0, as this translates to infinite timeout.

 

In my case

UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxx	/mnt/mountpoint	ext4	nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1,rw,auto,users       0 0

To unmount correctly if unplugged I use an udev-rule

orangepi@orangepiplus2e:~$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/90-USB_festplatten.rules 
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd?1", ENV{ID_SERIAL_SHORT}=="33Q8K5YEF", RUN+="/bin/umount  /mnt/mountpoint"
