My main mythtv drive is a usb drive.
If I put, in fstab
UUID=6a67da23-0789-42a7-bb24-ab7a1f21008c /store ext4 defaults
1 2
boot fails with a 'Enter Root Password ..." message about bad disk.
if I put
UUID=6a67da23-0789-42a7-bb24-ab7a1f21008c /store ext4
defaults,nofail 1 2
Boot is normal, but the disk is not mounted
I made a systemctl file
[seagull] /home/jam [842]% cat /etc/systemd/system/mountStore.service
[Unit]
Description=Mount /Store
After=online.target
Wants=apache2.service
Wants=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 30
ExecStart=mount /dev/disk/by-label/MYTHTV /store
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
It mounts correctly, but the service file is a bit inelegant. Using Hot
Plug (google for a fix) seems wrong too.
The systemd mount options want a fixed bus id (and the usb port can change).
The drive is a 4T so the occasional fsck will muck up timing. Any ideas
please.
