 |
|
Hello gentoo forum,
Like in subject, fstab can't find my usb device, and mount it.
BUT, if I restart openRC init, everything is fine. Fstab can find it, and mount.
It is very annoying to restart openRC and log in. There must be another way.

# BLKID OF USB SAMSUNG
#/dev/sda1: LABEL="Gentoo" UUID="9ace0ae7-2c82-401b-a078-8b725fa38bd4" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="xfs" PARTUUID="5e2ef541-03b4-43b1-b52a-6515fc44b34e"
# ROOT PARTITION
PARTUUID=988508bb-d3b2-4057-af4b-3db1bcde3e5d / xfs defaults 1 1
#PENDRIVE USB SAMSUNG
PARTUUID=5e2ef541-03b4-43b1-b52a-6515fc44b34e /home/anon xfs defaults 0 1

It looks to me as if the drive isn't in a settled state by the time you try to mount it. It can take a long time between the kernel loading the driver and probing the bus, and the drive being ready -- it could be seconds for magnetic disks. But even if it's only milliseconds, it could be too long.
I don't know if there's a nice solution to this problem using OpenRC. In the past I've just mounted the disk using an init script with a time delay before the mount. It's not very elegant. I, too, would like to know if there's a nicer way.
BR, Lars. |

Thanks. Init script has resolved the mount problem.
Template for anyone:
| Code: |
GNU nano 8.0 /etc/init.d/mount_pendrive
#!/sbin/openrc-run
depend() {
after localmount
}
start() {
ebegin "Mounting pendrive as /home/anon"
# Replace these variables with your actual values
PARTUUID="FILL IT"
MOUNTPOINT="also this"
FILESYSTEM="and this"
# Attempt to mount the partition
mount -t $FILESYSTEM PARTUUID=$PARTUUID $MOUNTPOINT
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
eend 0 "Pendrive mounted successfully"
else
eend 1 "Failed to mount pendrive"
fi
}
stop() {
ebegin "Unmounting pendrive from /home/anon"
umount /home/anon
eend $?
}
