geraldw321:
hi there  been running PCLOS full monty for a month great operating system im very pleased with it and happy too finally dump the windowed system, ill never go back , now all had been fine until a recently .

   i have an acer laptop , v-771 9875 , core i7, cpu, 32 gig ram , 256 gig samsung ssd with the OS  on it  and hitachi 750gig hd for storage. running 3.2.18-pclos2.bfs ,   all of a sudden the storage drive isnt mounting on startup? , i get errors in programs like ktorrent or foxit reader that sdb not mounted? i need to open a file manager and click on that drive only  then will programs like ktorrent or foxit reader  see the drive .

im not sure whats happening since file managers show the drive

muungwana:

open terminal,run these commands and give their output

cat /etc/fstab

cat /etc/mtab

dmesg | grep -i sdb

geraldw321:
ok  heres what i have from those commands

[*******@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/fstab

[******@localhost ~]$ dmesg | grep -i sdb

muungwana:

That drive is configured not to automount,make it do that:

1. start pcc(pclinuxos control center )
2. go to "local disk"
3. click "manage disk partitions"
4. click "sdb" tab
5. click the bar that is below the tab
6. click "toggle to expert mode"
7. click "options"
8. make sure "noauto" is unticked.
9. finish up and click "yes" if asked to save contents to "fstab".

the drive should now automount at boot time.

just to be certain everything is as they should,

rerun and post contents of the following command

cat /etc/fstab

geraldw321:
hi there   i already checked those settings after install of OS and  noauto is unchecked , has been unchecked since install of OS .  so fstab shows what it is.
