I have run into a bizarre situation I haven't seen before. I am at a remote location today accessing my Fedora 14 box. I have an external USB hard drive connected to it. I was accessing fine all morning but I installed some updates and did a reboot. Afterwards, I no longer can see that drive (mount doesn't show it). Is it because I am ssh'ing in and not logging in to the box locally? I'm not sure when the USB drives would be detected and mounted. |
What does fdisk tell you.
It sounds more likely that the drive is not set to mount /etc/fstab, and needs to be mounted manually. Assuming /dev/sda2 is your usb hdd. You would use something like this
fdisk on my system did not show the drive. It was very strange. Long story short, I went back to Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS and I no longer have this problem. And if the drive doesn't automatically mount, fdisk does see it and I can mount it.
