HI Rill,
Thank you for the tip.
I'm doing the research now. I've learned about autofs. This is apparently a
special utility for mounting usb and network hard drives and it works on the
pi. I'd rather use what's already here, but if this will do the job then I'm
for it.
I've also Listened to Ken Falen on hacker radio.
http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?idI don't think this is the podcast you
were referring to, but that seems to be all that came up on a search for large
hard drives through hacker public radio, but I don't trust either the google
search utility they used or my own knowledge of what to search for here.
I'll start configuring autofs when I get back from my walk and see if that does
what I need.
Thanks,
Erik Burggraaf

In my experience, Eric, the problem simply may be the size of the drives you
were trying to mount. I'm guessing they are large based on what you're using
them for. Essentially, the pie can't mount them fast enough and therefore
they don't get mounted at all. There is a workaround for it. There was a
hacker public radio podcast on this subject. You'd have to dig through the
archives to find it. If you can't turn it up, post here and I'll try to find
it for you.

Hello all, I have had this raspberry pi for three years and always intended
to set it up as a nas/personal cloud. This week, I have finally gotten
around to it. I'm using raspbian via command line. This meets my needs and
in particular it potentially lets me remote administrate. I have a good two
pages of notes. Many appropriate packages are installed and updates
performed. My drives are all accessible, but I have run into an issue. In
order to make my drives mount automatically at startup, I need to edit the
fstab file. I have done this successfully, but my drives don't mount
automatically, even though all of the commands work if I run them myself. I
used the tutorial found here:
http://www.techjawab.com/2013/06/how-to-setup-mount-auto-mount-usb-hard.html ;
<http://www.techjawab.com/2013/06/how-to-setup-mount-auto-mount-usb-hard.html>
This I believe is intended for arch, but all of the commands work exactly as
advertised on raspbian. I am guessing there is a problem with the way I
wrote my fstab file, but this is my first time doing such and I don't
particularly know what to search for on google to get the answer I need.
Would some one be willing to look at the contents of my fstab and tell me
where I went wrong? I could paste it into an email message.
Thanks,
Erik Burggraaf
