I've installed kubuntu (after 10 years I am trying to play with linux) and manged to attach a external 1TB HDD drive over USB!
The drive was formatted with NTFS and everything was working OK. I also changed the /etc/fstab here is my ntfs mount setting:
/dev/sdb1 /media/samsung nts-3g auto,user,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=000,utf-8 0, 0
Now, I've reparationed the drive and formated it with ext4 filesystem! change my fstb like:
/dev/sdb1 /media/samsung ext4 defaults,noatime 0, 0
now, when I plug my dive/or call sudo mount -a, my external drive's green light starts to flash and won't stop, but mount works ....
What is the Problem? is this because of ext4? because with NTFS this won't happen! btw. after changing the owner of the /media/samsung and setting permissions 777, I can also access my drive like creating new folder atc. (although is's flashing constantly)!
What is my mistake? btw. can you please let me know how to set the owner and the permissions for my /media/samsung directory in fstab for ext4 like I did it for NTFS?
Thanks in advance
