lewmur Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have an HDD that sometimes produces a rattling noise so rather than wait for it to go bad, I bought a replacement HDD the same size and copied the noisy drive. I've removed the noisy drive and modified the fstab file with the UUID of the new drive. But somehow I'm now getting a mount error while booting and have to hit the "s" key to finish the boot. Yet all of the partitions seem to be mounted. I've gone into the fstab file and, one at a time, commented out each entry and re-booted. Nothing gets rid of the error. What other file tries to mount partitions during boot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 What is the error you are getting? Is it fsck? If so, simply fsck the drive: # fsck /dev/sda1 Replace sda1 with whatever your drive letter and number is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt.Crow Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Is the new drive the same make as the removed one .. Could be something with the firmware... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Did you make the drive bootable when you formatted it ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
