After last update I have a problem with my external hdd. If I reboot diet pi, hdd wont automount, I need to mount it manually after reboot. I’ve tried to reinstall dietpi, but it not helped. Any ideas?
Hi,
Can you share your /etc/fstab pls
Now another thing, after fresh install now I’m getting this error
root@DietPi:~# /etc/fstab
-bash: /etc/fstab: Permission denied
I did everything same like always, why now I don’t have permissions?
Because this is a configuration file and not something you can execute 
Just do cat /etc/fstab
Ok, good to know )

Your disk should be mounted to /mnt/94BA918FBA916F0C correct?
What happen if you try to access /mnt/94BA918FBA916F0C right after reboot
After each reboot instead of /mnt/94BA918FBA916F0C it’s looks like this. Sorry, I’m a newbie on this, if need detailed information, please write which command I need to type

I’m totally confused now. You are showing a picture from dietpi-software. Did you tried to access your HDD like cd /mnt/94BA918FBA916F0C after reboot. Did it show your data?
After reboot
root@DietPi:~# cd /mnt/94BA918FBA916F0C
-bash: cd: /mnt/94BA918FBA916F0C: No such device
Can you share ls -la /mnt

I don’t know why, but last three reboots was ok and hdd mounted automatically. Hopefully problem is gone
ok let’s fingers cross it is gone. At least from config point of view it seems to be fine.
Hmm, looks like I was celebrating to early. At Diepti-software after reboot it’s showing proper path to User data location instead of just USB drive. But it’s still not mounted after reboot. Yesterday I did fresh install but I’m still using same external hdd for data, is it possible what kind of configs are on external hdd and causing this problems? After last update I installed Home Automation software, maybe this software caused this problems. After fresh install I’m not installed this software anymore, but problem still persist.
can you do a reboot and try to access the drive. Once done let’s check for kernel error messages
cd /mnt/94BA918FBA916F0C
dmesg -l err,crit,alert,emerg
It’s no errors
root@DietPi:/mnt/94BA918FBA916F0C#
And it’s changed directory to hdd, but it’s still not mounted according Drive Manager
let’s put drive manage aside.
Just do
cd /mnt/94BA918FBA916F0C #to access the drive
ls -la #to display the content
df -h #to check drives and file systems
After reboot
root@DietPi:~# cd /mnt/94BA918FBA916F0C #to access the drive
root@DietPi:/mnt/94BA918FBA916F0C# ls -la #to display the content
