When I bought my System76 Bonobo Extreme laptop it came with a 1TB Seagate hybrid drive with regular Ubuntu on it. I deleted the partition and created a new single partition for the whole drive with the label 'Data.' I bought a 512GB Crucial mSata drive and installed / and ~/ on it in separate partitions. The Seagate remains largely unused, except that I have a Cron job that backs up my mail folder to it every night.
I have been having issues with the latest version of a program which cannot find either of my optical drives. In troubleshooting I ran lsscsi and was shocked to see that the Seagate is not listed. Nor does it appear in the Places tab in Thunar, the Xfce GUI file manager. Since I do not use the Data drive for other than the backup, which takes no intervention from me, I have no idea how long the drive has been inactive. I am wondering if there is any kind of command wizardry that I could do to shed light on the situation before powering down and opening the case. It is listed in fstab, so is there a way to refresh fstab? Any other ideas? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
