New finding: Based on a friends Ubuntu 7.04 content of /etc/modules containing fuse, which I have no idea what it pertains to, I added that entry also to my Ubuntu 9.04 /etc/modules and found that my ntfs external drive would then mount. I unmounted, unplugged the drive and plugged it back in and it mounted several times in a row. I then tried to mount my 500GB ext3 drive and found it would not mount at all. I tried with the drive powered up both before and after plugging it in and even tried booting the system with the drive connected and could not get it to mount, nor could I find anywhere an error message or indication the system had any knowledge at all of the drives existence.
I've never before had an external drive using an ext3 file system so this may be normal for previous versions of ubuntu as well as the 9.04 version, so I will probably try to find a way to reformat the drive to ntfs in hopes that a solution for that file system can be found. Can someone confirm that /etc/modules is a place where I should be making changes, and if the changes I'm making are correct, and why must I, a user have to make edits in this area of the system to begin with? -- unable to mount seagate st300003u2 usb drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377297 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
