New drive not mounted after reboot

przemko · 25 November 2022 08:01

Hello,
I move my dietpi_userdata to new drive. I mount it in dietpi-drive-manage. Set move dietpi_userdata to that new drive. It move all my data and today morning when I wake up everything was OK. I reboot my miniPC and drive was not mounted. I rebot few times, disconnect two other usb drives but dietpi still cannot find that drive.

When I connect that drive once again to my laptop and open gparted I see state unknown, like it will be not formated, without any partition.

Regards.

can you share following three information

lsblk -o name,fstype,label,size,ro,type,mountpoint,partuuid,uuid
cat /etc/fstab
dmesg -l err,crit,alert,emerg

Hi, I have connected drive to my archlinux laptop because I think I will need to copy all data from dietpi-sync folder on second Seagate drive.

That sda is my Seagate backup drive and that sdb is my new drive for dietpi_userdata.

I will connect now to my dietpi miniPC.

OK, now on dietpi:

sdb doesn’t seems to contain any disk/partition information. Looks like empty.

przemko · 25 November 2022 09:12

Yes, but it was OK. I don’t know how it’s possible because I format it and move all dietpi_userdata there.

Can You tell me if I format that drive again and set dietpi_userdata. Then copy all folders from dietpi-sync?
How to format that drive from dietpi? Or switch it to my laptop?

Regards.

Joulinar · 25 November 2022 09:26

you can use drive manager to format HDD using ext4 and to move user data folder

which folder dietpi-sync is synchronizing?

przemko · 25 November 2022 09:39

I make partition and try dietpi-drive manager but it failed:

It’s repairing now:

Dietpi-sync is synchronizing dietpi_userdata.

przemko · 25 November 2022 10:06

@Joulinar I format and mount succesfully.
Now when I want in dietpi-drive-manager move dietpi_usedata there I see errors:

[ INFO ] DietPi-Set_userdata |  - From : 
[ INFO ] DietPi-Set_userdata |  - To   : /mnt/Skyhawk/dietpi_userdata
[ INFO ] DietPi-Set_userdata | Please wait...
[FAILED] DietPi-Set_userdata | Please provide a source () and target (/mnt/Skyhawk/dietpi_userdata) directory for input.
[FAILED] DietPi-Set_userdata | Exited with error

Joulinar · 25 November 2022 10:13

the drive has some corruption. You should try to get this fixed first before trying to move data.

przemko · 25 November 2022 10:20

Drive looks OK when I “check and repair”

Can You tell me how can I set dietpi_userdata there?

Joulinar · 25 November 2022 10:43

first things first.

format your drive using ext4, mount the drive somewhere, reboot your system and try to access the drive on CLI. If all this is working we could continue.

przemko · 25 November 2022 10:50

Yes, I do that now it looks everything works OK.
Just don’t have dietpi_userdata on system.

Joulinar · 25 November 2022 10:52

our preferred option is to use drive manager to move user data folder.

przemko · 25 November 2022 10:56

I know but now there’s no source and i have error.

Joulinar · 25 November 2022 11:00

you need the source drive mounted and working to move user data using drive manager.

przemko · 25 November 2022 11:02

On my source drive where I have dietpi_userdata before there’s nothing left. Just docker-data and empty mnt folders.

przemko · 25 November 2022 11:10

@Joulinar I connect that old drive but still cannot move dietpi_userdata because there’s no source? What can I do with that? Reinstall system or is there a way to set dietpi_userdata folder manually?

przemko · 25 November 2022 11:44

Ok, I mount in different name as I before mounting and now it looks like it see dietpi_userdata there:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root     28 11-25 05:05 dietpi_userdata -> /mnt/skyhawk/dietpi_userdata
drwxrwxr-x  2 dietpi dietpi 4096 2020-08-06  ftp_client
drwxrwxr-x  2 dietpi dietpi 4096 2020-08-06  nfs_client
drwxrwx---  2 dietpi dietpi    0 11-13 20:37 samba
drwxrwxrwx 11 dietpi dietpi 4096 11-06 18:25 Seagate
drwxr-xr-x  3 root   root   4096 11-25 11:16 skyhawk
drwxr-xr-x  2 root   root   4096 09-15 19:26 syncthing
drwxr-xr-x  4 dietpi dietpi 4096 09-16 19:52 Toshiba

but there’s no folder on that skyhawk drive:

dietpi@DietPi:~$ ls /mnt/skyhawk/
lost+found

How to copy data from backup drive [dietpi-sync - it syncs dietpi_userdata from old drive]?
Do I have to mkdir /mnt/skyhawk/dietpi_userdata or some symlink?

Joulinar · 25 November 2022 13:05

where is the original user data located? On which drive?

Can you share as well

ls -la /mnt
