Hi, maybe rather than trying to mount the disk earlier, you could try to spin it up so that it mounts when mountall is run. From https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/10930/what-command-do-i-use-to-spin-up-a-power-up-in-standby-drive: Drives supporting the "Power-up in Standby" feature are supposed to spin up as soon as they get a command that requires reading the disk. like dd if=/dev/hdX of=/dev/null count=512 ------------------------------------------------ #/bin/dash ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: disk # Required-Start: # Required-Stop: # Default-Start: S # Default-Stop: # Short-Description: prepare disk at boot time ### END INIT INFO case $1 in start) # Edit this: /bin/dd if=/dev/disk of=/dev/null count=512 ;; esac ------------------------------------------------ eventually you could make this an udev/eudev rule to be run when the drive is detected. Untested, just my 2 cents, Tito _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
