Cannot mount on boot, can mount once booted

jurrie

Recently added a new hdd on my onboard Promise raid thingy (R20378). My regular sata ports are already taken, so I attached this one disk to the raid thingy (hey, dunno what the real name is). I mount it as my /opt, in fstab:

Hi.

Please post the contents of /etc/fstab.

kay, though I assumed the one line I posted would do.

Worth mentioning that I saw a message during boot stating sdc could not be found (before it's going to check all the filesystems). Kinda weird, since it is there when booted.

Yes, the line you included in the first post was enough to look at your disk mount. However, I was curious about the remaining file, just in case the problem was there. Unfortunately, I can't see anything wrong with the file.
If you change /opt entry in /etc/fstab so that it isn't mounted automatically, do you still get the error when booting? If so, the problem should be elsewhere; if not, then there's definitely something wrong with the partition, the entry or the module for the controller.

Well I changed the last one into a 0 to get around the 'press control-D' stuff. Still won't mount at boot though. It simply says 'special device /dev/sdc1 not found' when booting :/ I don't use a module for the raid thingy, so that can't be it either..
