Hard time mounting hard drives on Raspberry Pi 4

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

Hi everyone,

I recently received my Raspberry Pi 4, and I decided to move my Plex server onto it. Plex wasn’t able to see the hard drives I plugged in, so I followed this tutorial https://forums.plex.tv/t/using-ext-ntfs-or-other-format-drives-internal-or-external-on-linux/198544

Everthing went smoothly even if I had some difficulties to understand some points. Anyway, it seemed to work as the command ls /disks/* showed me all the directories from my 2 hard drives.

But once I rebooted the raspberry, only one of the two drives was being displayed/mounted. I tried removing the line in /etc/fstab about the drive, and as expected the disk was being mounted to /media/pi/. I followed exactly the same procedure for both drives (both ntfs) so I don’t know what to do.

I tried to redo the process of mounting the hard drive, but it didn’t change anything. If you have any idea why it doesn’t mount properly, I would happy to hear about it :slight_smile:

Thanks

Just like in math class you have to show your work. Need to see the contents of the fstab file cat /etc/fstab and show the output of sudo blkid

Use the Preformatted text (ctr+shft+C) when you paste the output.

So I was doing the tutorial again, copying every entry, as I did several times, but this time, it worked :sweat_smile:

So I don’t where was my error, but it has to be on my side.
