http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/MountDisksByLabel It seems following that guide,
and doing the initramfs update sorts it... Sam From: Sam Reed [mailto:sam@piloting.fsnet.co.uk] From http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/TroubleShooting The slug fails to
reboot with 2 drives connected If
you connect a second drive after you have installed Debian, for example to
store your data files, the order of the drives will be random after rebooting,
i.e. the new drive could become /dev/sda with your root filesystem being
/dev/sdb. If that happens the slug will fail to boot because it will be looking
for its root filesystem on the wrong disk. To recover, boot with only the root
drive connected and change your fstab to mount your root drive by UUID by
following the procedure outlined below. List
the UUIDs of your drives with the tree (apt-get install tree) command $ tree /dev/disk /dev/disk |-- by-id | |--
usb-[=ST340014=]_A_5000000000002886 -> ../../sda | |--
usb-[=ST340014=]_A_5000000000002886-part1 -> ../../sda1 | |-- usb-[=ST340014=]_A_5000000000002886-part2
-> ../../sda2 | `--
usb-[=ST340014=]_A_5000000000002886-part5 -> ../../sda5 |-- by-path | |--
pci-0000:00:01.2-usb-0:1:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sda | |--
pci-0000:00:01.2-usb-0:1:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part1 -> ../../sda1 | |-- pci-0000:00:01.2-usb-0:1:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part2
-> ../../sda2 | `--
pci-0000:00:01.2-usb-0:1:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part5 -> ../../sda5 `-- by-uuid `--
424ba820-8e80-422e-aaeb-b343b4a462f1 -> ../../sda1 and
then modify your fstab by replacing /dev/sda1 (your root partition) with the
UUID, e.g. # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount
point> <type>
<options> <dump>
<pass> proc
/proc
proc defaults
0 0 UUID=424ba820-8e80-422e-aaeb-b343b4a462f1
/ ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro
0 1 /dev/sda5
none
swap
sw
0 0 /dev/sda1
/media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto
0 0 /dev/sda5
/media/usb1 auto rw,user,noauto
0 0 Then
update the initramfs: $ sudo update-initramfs -u and
flash the new initramfs $ sudo flash-kernel You may want to make a copy of your
existing flash before this last step in case something goes wrong. Right, im having trouble with it not always booting up with
the 2nd drive attached... It worked fine a few times before I changed it, but its not
working now... Another user on IRC is having the same problem – He’s also
made the changes as per that post above, and its still not working Anyone got any other suggestions? Cheers Sam |
