I have an external USB had drive. It is a Buffalo drive. When ti is mounted it appears in /Media/Buffalo
The problem is, every time I reboot my system it is mounted to a different location.
e.g. /Media/Buffalo_1
reboot again and it is mounted to /Media/Buffalo_2
the two previous mount points always remain present as empty directories.
I have a script that backup up files to the external drive each night. The problem is that Nautilus auto mounts the external drive and when the script runs it fails to mount the external drive.
The mount point that the script creates in /mnt/mirror and the mount point the Nautilus creates is /mnt/mirror_
How do I detect if an external drive is already mounted?
Hi all,I was wondering if there's a way to make a hotkey that will allow me to mount my 320 gig external USB drive without having to open up the window manger and clicking on the different partitions in order to mount them.I'm not looking to have it auto mount as sometimes there is no need for this drive to be mounted (although it remains plugged in).Any help would be appreciated. :)-NT
I've got an external harddrive that I'd like to auto-mount. It will be present most times when my laptop boots. Where is the "correct" place to mount it?
/media/my-hd: Will litter /media with an empty folder when the hard-drive was not mounted.
/mnt/my-hd: I've heard that /mnt itself is supposed to be used as a temporary mount point.
I have an external drive mounted that I want to mount at /media/Storage. I used disk utility and then gparted as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive to change the label of the drive to "Storage." Whenever the drive mounts, however, it mounts at a location like /media/STORAGE_x. It has also been STORAG_x, and I think a "~u" was appended once.
I'm doing a backup script and need to have a fixed mount point for an external usb drive. If it is the first usb connected it will mount in /media/usb0/, however if it is the second, third... it will mount in /media/LABEL_OF_THE_DISK/. The same apply for sdX.
Lately, I have dealt with a lot of hassle trying to get my external hard drive to work. I am sure that in the process of trying to fix one thing, I ended up messing up something else.
Basically, I can't mount both of my external drives. I can mount either one if the other isn't already mounted.
Before that, I couldn't see the files on my drive in Windows, but one problem at a time.
I am currently trying to backup data from my computer's hard drive to an external one while live-booting to Ubuntu from a USB, and I've encountered a bit of a problem. You see, I cannot mount my hard drives.
