fstab fails

[denniswage]

fstab worked before I did apt-get dist-upgrade

Pretty sure I did apt-get dist-upgrade


proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults 0 2
/dev/mmcblk0p2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb2 ext4 defaults 0 0

The content of fstab above
sdb1 fails. sda1 mounts just fine.

mount /dev/sdb1 /dev/usb works.

mount -a also works.

This has worked fine until we had a power failure today, and it never booted up.

The fstab fail also causes the dhcpd.conf file to not assign an ip to eth0

Thanks,

totaly noob here.

Since systemd can mount the disks without fstab, I wonder if it could just be removed from Raspbian. I know it can be done on Debian.

In your case the failing mount is ntfs

Is there anything in the logs?

Uses

Code: Select all

journalctl

What errors do you get? First you should make sure that ntfs-3g is installed:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

If already installed, try reinstall:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ntfs-3g

Last but not least, change fstab to let mount auto detect the file system:

Code: Select all

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb auto defaults 0 0

Good luck

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

Have you got "ntfs-3g" installed?

The powerfailure might be the cause.
Run "dmesg" command in a terminal and look for signs that mounting fails because of "dirty" filesystem.
I guess this is removable disks so you can take it to a windows machine and run a filesystem check and then plug it back in the Pi.
