Hi Rill,
I think I found the podcast you were talking about on hacker radio. the
podcast describes a situation where /boot/CMDline.txt had been edited by a
special script for purpose of making the Raspberry Pi boot from a operating
system on a SSD hard drive. The script added the special delay of 5
Seconds command to give the hard drive time to spin up before trying to
boot from the operating system on the drive. is this what you meant?
I don't want the system to delay booting but I wonder if I could use the
same type of command in FS tab to make it the system wait for the hard drives?
Best,
Erik

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
