[ProLinux] I have confused my new computer

Author: Ken Kixmoeller (ProLinux)

Posted: 2011-09-12 17:48:06   Link

OK, my new linux box is up and running, sort of.

This is the scenario:

* I installed Ubuntu 11.4 on the new 1TB (SATA) disk that came with

the machine.

* I have a bunch of ATA disks from my now-dead old Ubuntu computer. I

have installed two of them internally (one of them is still NTFS), and

the rest externally with some cheap HDD enclosures.

I had made an error when I first installed the two internal ATA drives

-- I had the jumper settings wrong. I thought that was why I couldn't

mount one of them. Otherwise, everything seemed OK. Well, except for

Samba -- a couple of samba shares, well, wouldn't.

So, I took it apart and fixed the drives. Now, more of the drives

won't mount. A drive that (the UI tool) says is at "dev/sda" when I

try to mount it, it says that there is "already a disk mounted at

media/sdc". If it is at dev/sda, shouldn't it mount at media/sda?

Any suggestions how I work my way out of this mess?

Ken

What if you disconnect all the drives except the main SATA, boot it up.

Let it reconfig itself based on the one, main drive.

Power it down. Reconnect one of the drives (making usre master/slave

setting on cable is correct), boot. Confirm it is reading and showing up

sdb...

Continue with other drives, making sure properly set on cable and

jumbers etc...

That's what I would do - try and move what is confusing it and let it

see the added stuff one at a time...

Use root privileges for the following commands.

To list your drives, use the following command:

fdisk -l

Create mount point for a drive:

mkdir /media/sdc1

Using the name obtained from the "fdisk -l" command, try mounting the

drive manually like:

mount -t ext4 /media/sdc1 /dev/sdc1

OK, I am playing. I disconnected everything but the boot drive.

1. All of the "mount point" folders are still in /media/ -- should I

delete (or rename) them? A GUI disk utility says that the mount point

of the remaining drive is ./ -- does that make sense? There is a SDA1

folder in there.

2. Ditto the device files (or whatever the heck they are) in /dev/ --

sda1 seems to be the boot drive partition and sda5 seems to be the

swap partition. Can/should I delete or rename the others?

I feel like I am treading on dangerous ground.

Go ahead and hook up all your drive, and then do a fdisk -l and post

it. The fdisk -l command will tell us how the new OS has assigned

labels to the additional drives.
