http://linuxexchange.org/questions/1456/lost-usb-external-drives-after-remote-reboot-on-fedora-14<p>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.</p>enMon, 13 Dec 2010 15:51:04 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/1456/lost-usb-external-drives-after-remote-reboot-on-fedora-14/1457<p>What does fdisk tell you.</p> <pre><code>fdisk -l </code></pre> <p>It sounds more likely that the drive is not set to mount /etc/fstab, and needs to be mounted manually.</p> <p>Assuming /dev/sda2 is your usb hdd. You would use something like this</p> <pre><code>mount /dev/sda2 /DIRECTORY/PATH/TO/MOUNT/TO </code></pre>rfelsburgMon, 13 Dec 2010 15:51:04 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/1456/lost-usb-external-drives-after-remote-reboot-on-fedora-14/1457
