External SCSI Hard Drive Not Auto-mounting
I just recently installed an Adaptec AHA-2940UW SCSI adapter, so I could
make use of this spare 4.3GB external SCSI hard drive. Anyway, I
partitioned the drive and used mkfs to create an ext3 file system on it.
I then created a mount point for it /workspace/Multimedia, and updated
my fstab file, which now looks like this:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda10 /archives ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb1 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda7 /opt ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda6 /root ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb2 /shared ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda5 /tmp ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda9 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda8 /var ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb3 /workspace ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdd1 /shared/Public ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda4 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda1 /workspace/Multimedia ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc /dvd iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
I suspect the problem has to do with my partitions being mounted during
boot up before the SCSI drivers are loaded. If this is the case, then
is there a way to get the SCSI drivers to load earlier in the boot
process? I can mount the partition manually after logging in, so I know
that the drive itself is good.
