Hi there!
I want to upgrade my external storage from a 2T external HHD to a 4T one (2.5").
I mount the disk via driver manager, it seems that the disk unmounts on its own.
Whenever I try to re-mount it I get the following error.
What can I do to fix the problem?
Is there any way to keep the mounting point for the previous HDD?
Thanks in advance.
Can you share following
df -h
sblk -o name,fstype,label,size,ro,type,mountpoint,partuuid,uuid
If possible try to copy output directly from SSH terminal and avoid doing screen prints.
Thank you for your help.
df -h shows:

There is the new disk connected only?
Can you share content of the mount point you like to use
ls -la /mnt/your-directory
Pls use your directory as I don’t want to type it from your screen prints.
Thank you for your answer.
It’s connected just the new disk only. (The other one is the “boot” disk).
The previous one was mounted to /mnt/Skynet and I want to keep this point.
The command shows:
ls -la /mnt/Skynet
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 25 16:18 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Dec 25 16:14 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 dietpi dietpi 4096 Dec 25 16:18 Downloads
Well on the screen print it shows /mnt/B25-something
Anyway you would need to mount the new HDD to a temporary space, move all data from inside /mnt/Skynet to new disk, remove the old directory and remount the new disk to /mnt/Skynet
Thank you for your suggestion. Yesterday, I did as you have suggested. The problem is that it seems that the disk unmounts on its own.
Anyway, I’ve recreated the process as you suggested and now I’ve got the desired directory.
I hope the disk keeps on working this time.
I’ll update the status if you don’t mind.
After a reboot, the disk works for a few seconds and then the mounting point disappears. The light of the disk is on.
/mnt/Skynet# ls
ls: reading directory ‘.’: Input/output error

I don’t know what to do.
That looks like issues with your HDD. how is the disk powered? Does it have an own PSU? You can check for kernel errors
dmesg -l err,crit,alert,emerg
It’s directly attached to the pi (as the previous one).
I run Crystaldisk on it, everything was fine.

You have a lot of I/O errors on it. It could be the cable attached to the drive. As well it could be power issue as you did not use a dedicated PSU. Something we definitely recommend to use a dedicated PSU.
I use a Toshiba Canvio disk (the previous one worked like a charm), so I can’t use a dedicated PSU. Any HDD model an PSU alternative?
I’ll try a different cable.

Edit: I didn’t know of powered usb hubs, that may be a good option too. I’ll try that.
Thanks.
yes powered USB hubs are an option. Or powered USB > SATA adapter
