Severity: grave
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
While attempting to mount a second hard disk which contains some
data I recieved "No such device" error.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I confirmed both that the device exists and had not been acidently erased
through installing gparted I confirmed that the device /dev/ad1s2 was
present on the disk and valid. I called the stat command stat /dev/ad1s2
to validate that the device file existed. stat printed out valid
information about the file. I attempted to validate that I had permission
to mount. both using sudo, and running mount as root after using su root.
* What was the outcome of this action?
There was no specific outcome of this action. The problem persists the
only file system that was able to be mounted was root. No other file
system can be mounted on the system anywhere my any user with any
level of permission.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
To successfully mount the file system on my second partition.
Further notes. I have not changed this file system during the os install
it is on a seperate hard disk. Not that the disk also as a fat file
system, and a btrfs file system on it. Neither were able to mount either.
Furthermore, the file system I was attempting to mount is an active root
partition for a debian instance which can successfully boot if I rebot
the system.
