Dear list, there is a little issue, which I try to solve. On my desptop computer I have 4 harddrives:
SATA 0: HDD 300 GB with Debian + GRUB on MBR (parted in /boot, /, /home (luks), /var (luks) and /usr (luks) SATA 1: HDD 300 GB with Win10 SATA 2: SDD 128 GB (as simple data storage) SATA 3: HDD 1,5 TB (as simple data storage, splitted as 1TB encrypted and 500 GB unencrypted) Now the issue: When I boot the system, then the drives are not mounted as set in /etc/fstab. For example, the SDD should mounted to /space, and the unencrypted HDD shall be mounted to /daten. But it seems, sometimes the mountpoints are not correct, so the SDD is not mounted to /space, but to /daten. Also some harddrives are not recognized at all and I then must boot several times, that all drives and partitions are seen. Question one: Is this a problem of the BIOS and motherboard, or a kernel problem? Question two: I remeber to have read, as soon as the kernel hast started (and it is always starting) the BIOS has no more influence to the hardware. Is this correct? If yes, then it is definately a kernel issue. What can I do? I suppose, if this is a hardware issue (I am thinking of, that there is a timing problem due to speed differences among the slow HDD and the fast SDD), is there anything I can do (except of replacing the HDD with SDD)? Any hints welcome! It is no burning problem, but I would like to understand, what is going on. Best regards Hans
