Package: fstab ??
Version: Debian Squeeze - latest
While booting Debian does not recognize the external USB-harddisk. It is not mounted.
Using "mount -a" at the console/terminal afterwards however immediately solves it: the external HD is then mounted and can be fully accessed (also remotely via SMB).
I suggest that fstab (or the relevant
parts/packages) waits long enough to correctly mount the external USB-drive
correctly while booting.
Strange: The same machine runs OK with Ubuntu
(Ubuntu mounts the same USB-HD with the same fstab-settings
automatically at bootup).
Further info: When
setting the <pass> parameter in fstab to "2" for the external
USB-HD the machine does not boot correctly at all anymore. Resetting to "0"
solves that.
I am using Linux debian 2.6.32-3-kirkwood #1
