[SOLVED] FM not Showing SATA Hard Drive
Posted: 9. Nov 2014, 07:20

In my Saiix-xfce4-14.1 Super Box Thunar FM and Pcmanfm do not show under
Devices my SATA hard drive only my IDE HD. Spacefm does show both HDs.
Now in the new Salix-Live-Xfce4-14.1 both Thunar and pcmanfm show both HDs.
How could I tweak my Salix working box which is on the SATA HD that the FMs show
both my drives under Devices like in Salix-Live-Xfce4?

In /mnt/SLX14 I have a copy of my Salix working box where too the mentioned FMs
will not show the SATA drive. In /dev/sda6 I have installed Salix-Live-Xfce-14.1.
I did
Code: Select all
cp -ax /run/media/user/c2427a56-7db3-44cc-9a0e-0af7fa88b8f1/* /mnt/SLX14/
Now in /mnt/SLX14 the FMs do show the SATA drive.

Please put any output in code tags next time, for better readability. This time I edited it for you.
Since your sdb is a GPT disk, also post the output of
and post the output of

Now, you really can't see anything weird about this? Why are you trying to mount the same partitions in different mountpoints?

No, you just copied files over at /mnt/SLX14, which might just be a directory in your / filesystem.

No it is not. The files were overridden. as command "cp -ax /partition-1/* /partition-2/" is supposed to do.
Example:
Code: Select all
ls -l passwd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1096 Nov 9 11:43 passwd
ls -l passwd-
-rw------- 1 root root 1098 Nov 8 15:13 passwd-

No, I mean this:

gvfsd-fuse on /home/peter/.gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=heisspf)
That shows that none of the other partitions are actually mounted. Your /mnt/SLX14, is just a directory in your / partition in that case, not your /dev/sda5 as you think it is. /dev/sda5 is not mounted!

Read previous comment. You're just copying files over, no matter what flags you use. That's what the cp command does.
In general, your posts suggest that you are very confused about which partition is which and what should be mounted where. I suggest you remove everything non-essential from your /etc/fstab and just mount the partitions using the file manager.

I have a very clear idea what partitions I have.
There is no directory /mnt/SLX therefore that entry in fstab is meaningless.
Removed it now. Thanks for pointing it out.
I just mounted /mnt/SLX14
Code: Select all
mount
/dev/sdb2 on / type xfs (rw,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
/dev/sdb3 on /usr/local type xfs (rw)
/dev/sdb4 on /home type xfs (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
gvfsd-fuse on /home/peter/.gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=peter)
/dev/sda5 on /mnt/SLX14 type xfs (rw)
and if I boot into /dev/sda5 from a custom USB stick I am only there and nowhere else.
Code: Select all
cat fstab
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda5 / xfs defaults 1 1
/dev/sdb1 none swap defaults 0 0
You ask me to mount the partitions with a file manager.
This is precisely why I started this thread: File managers do not show my SATA drive
and its partitions in my original Salix-Xfce-14.1 box.

Do you actually have the directory /mnt/SLX14.
If not, you should manually create one.
Just a thought, why a partition would'n be mounted if it's in fstab, unless ther is not
a directory to mount on, it's a bit confusing, maybe I'm wrong.
I thik I had similar problem on windows partition. If you skip to add those mount points
during installation, later on if you add them in fstab, system itself wont create those directoris.
Yet again, maybe I'm wrong, never had so much trouble over partition mounting

Maybe in dmesg there are some messages of what happens durig boot and mounting.

Atip, you are either confused, or you are making everything deliberately confusing for everyone else by not providing proper information. I prefer to think it's the former.
In any case, I have already provided you with the solution, but you didn't read it. I'll do you a favor and copy-paste it, this time with the relevant text in bold...
