Public bug reported: I've put a disk /dev/sdb2/ in fstab to auto mount on startup. but if i put usb memory when computer is powered off the disk won't mount. how to replicate the bug: 1. put a disk in fstab to automount. 2. remove all usb drives, cameras etc. 3 restart computer. the disk is mounted 4. turn off the computer 5. put usb drive in 6. start the computer 7. it wont be able to mount it If i try manualy mount /dev/sdb2 i get this
mount /dev/sdb2 NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sdb2': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdb2' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? the filesystem on usb drive is FAT it might have confused usb drive with sdb the usb drive might now be sdb and the hard disk might be sdc ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic 2.6.35-22.35 Regression: No Reproducible: Yes ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.35-generic 2.6.35.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: hsfengine nvidia AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
