Internal HDs that don't contain the OS aren't accessable unless I try to manually browse them
- by Hrafn
So I have 4 internal hard drives, one that contains the OS (Ubuntu 12.04), all ext4. After starting the computer up, and without having tried to access the drives (File manager, terminal etc) it seems like the drives haven't been mounted. If I go into the "Disks" utility I see that the disks haven't been mounted.
Programs that try to access the HD's during startup throw an error. For example my music player can't find the library, my note taking software can't find the database etc. But after opening the drive in a file manager everything works.
I've checked SMART on all the disks and everything is a ok.
Any and all ideas would be appreciated.
