The attached drive is a Seagate 1tb sata 3.5 hdd placed in a powered case and attached to one of the usb ports on the pi. It is the ASMedia Technology Inc item. The drive is formatted in ext4 and divided into partitions. Folders were created in the /mnt directory and the fstab file was edited to mount the drive on reboot.
I made the directories, edited the fstab and then rebooted. The drives were mounted correctly and data could be written/read from the partitions. The next day when I accessed the pi (the pi was never turned off but left running 24/7) I couldn't access the folders. When I did lsblk I discovered that the drive partitions were now mounted as /dev/sdb*. I rebooted and everything was fine. The next day I had the same problem. I don't know exactly how long between it being good and changing but it always happens. I tried changing the usb port but that did nothing./dev/sda1 /mnt/Main ext4 defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/Second ext4 defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 /mnt/Nexus ext2 defaults 0 0
/dev/sda4 /mnt/brian ext4 defaults 0 0
/dev/sda5 /mnt/misc ext4 defaults 0 0
Hopefully I have included all info needed for help but if I am missing something let me know and I will post it. My intent is to use the pi and drive as a backup device for my desktop and laptop using rsync soon to have my son to be able to use it to back up his windows laptop so he has off site storage. Hopefully to expand and have a redundant backup of this drive also.
thanks for any help or suggestions,
john
