Using v3.912 on rPi 3, but this has been happening for many versions now.
Whenever the system restarts it loses sight of the USB stick on which I keep some old mp3s.
I have to ssh and run mount /dev/sda /media/mp3s
Is there a fix for this so I don’t have to ssh each time?
This is the debug log: http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/N36ONC9.html
You should not be manually mounting storage devices, Volumo is not keeping track of those.
Instead, label your USB stick one of the following:
"issd", "ihdd", "Internal SSD" or "Internal HDD"
and all your worries should be over.
Thanks I tried relabelling the USB stick as “issd” but it’s still not mounted automatically when Volumio boots up
It should, please make sure it is labelled correctly, then do a fresh boot and another log.
The only thing that could be wrong is a missing partition table.
Thanks again I checked the label is issd, log is here:

I am not sure what “missing partition table” means, or how to check that.
This is the issue here, a missing partition table means that Volumio is not going to be informed about the USB device with the music being attached. This will only happen when the Volumio OS catches a disk “partition add event”, which only happens when a partition table has been detected. This is related to how a usb device is being formatted.
It is not a Volumio problem, this is also how Debian or Ubuntu Linux automatically (or don’t) mount a device.
To fix this, you need a properly formatted USB stick before copying the data to it.
But before continuing, please please please (!!!) make sure you have a backup of your current USB Drive. I won’t take responsibility for any data loss. If in doubt, don’t follow my advice.
Which OS will you use to create a usb stick with a proper partition table, Windows or Linux?
To re-create the USB stick my main laptop is a Chromebook, this has the Linux dev environment enabled so in theory I can use commandline tools - parted? - to remake the partition. Haven’t used that tool before but the data on the USB is backed up so I’m happy to try.
Thanks
Hi i ve the same problem at the mounting of my HDD. It becames next the newest update of volumio called in past post. It seems that the problem is in the volumio version. Because other devices reads the hdd wel.
Dick, I would appreciate not to hijack a thread without adding new, substantial, log backed information to it. You’re only making it more complicated.
Thank you.
Ok, if you can run ‘gparted’ (gui version), that would be great. Let me know.
